On the Bias Bracelet
I'm very excited about this bracelet. I've worn it almost constantly since I made it. This bracelet class will teach to you to make curved and straight links that fit together to form a very supple chain bracelet. I enhanced the figure 8 link that connects these links with 4mm gold filled beads complimented by daisy spacers. I normally love to make a clasp for each bracelet, but this bracelet does have so much movement that I wanted to make sure it will stay secure and decided to add a sterling silver lobster claw clasp to finish it off. I will include copper wire in your kit so that you can practice each link before using your sterling silver wire.
2.5 hours - All Levels - Should be comfortable working with jewelry wire and tools.

Orbit Bracelet
This bracelet is all about the beads. I love the soft colors of these unique crystals and have chosen to make a link that frames each bead in gold filled wire. The fun entwined links between each bead is one that I created years ago, just decided to make it a little larger to better compliment the crystals. This bracelet is finished off with a handmade clasp. This class is suitable for all levels.

Faceted Pendant
I wanted to add new interest to a traditional wire wrapped pendant. You will learn to work with different lengths so that you can create the decorative swirls at the bottom of your faceted crystal. This pendant has a loop at the bottom so that you can hang the decorative dangles that you will make. This pendant can be created with a ruby red or jet black crystal. You will also have a choice of sterling silver or gold filled wire. I do consider this pendant an intermediate class, so please have experience working with square and half round wire.
3 hours - Intermediate - Should have experience working with square and half round wire.
