Got into a creative mood in the beading room, and tried something different. The first necklace/earring set is done with copper wire and antique gold findings. The second one exposes black-colored beading wire. Borrowed a new book on beading from the library, which shows that you can do all kinds of things with colored flexible beading wire, including knitting with it. Well, I declined to do the knitting part, but I had some .029 thickness black coated flexible wiring stashed back, trying to figure out why I ever ordered it. So NOW I can use it creatively. And the focal on the upper set takes a piece of copper wiring from the basement stash of hubby's house wiring--he stripped the rest off for me to use the copper part. The top set is malachite. Had the cab in my jewelry box, saved back from an old bracelet setting, and reused it for the focal. Aventurine beads make up the inside strand, malachite rondelles the outer strand anchoring the focal.
