Scintilla I: Sunrise over the sea

May 18th, 2008

Gift for my mother. A bag charm in pearl, abalone, crystal, glass, and silver wire.

Notes: Helloooo huge jump rings! I’ll probably buy more — sterling silver ones this time — when I move on to making bracelets. I used white and purple freshwater pearls strung on silver wire (the rings the pearls are hanging on are made of wire twisted together; I liked the organic look); abalone and mother of pearl chips; clear (aurora borealis) and pale yellow crystals; champagne crystal bicones; assorted silver bead spacers; golden glass seed beads. My favorite part is the pearl ring at the end — I left the pearls a little space to move on the wire, and I think it made the way the charm hangs a lot more interesting. The dragonfly at the very end is actually a pretty detailed charm, but the photo didn’t manage to capture that. I’ll take pictures of the details tomorrow.
