Well I suppose its time I get back to work and get a few things cut or wrapped or both. These 2 wraps are my latest.
My original twisted pendant is one I wear almost daily and it still gets quite a few compliments. I just had to try to make more after that one. It wasn’t easy either.
The malachite drusy, and chrysocholla drusy in the new twisted pendant is from Lima peru. I love this stone and it has been hard to find. So when I do find it I have to buy as much as possible. The cutting of it is pretty tricky tho. I just hate to lose any color or drusy crystal. But I can’t wrap a big a chunk of rock nor do I want it to just sit on a shelf and get dusty. This rock just begs to be cut and wrapped.
The next pendant has a focal skull magnasite bead. I bought a few skulls at a rock shop in Alburquerque NM last summer. Since it was a nice turquoise color, I had to add a little coral and a Pecos River diamond we found in NM too. The garnet was just a lil more color and I like for these twisty pendants to have as much color as possible. This pendant is just totally southwest inspiration.
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
