Frosted Plum
Frosted Plum
This is one of my signature designs. I call them my Treasure Pendants. It is made using wooden shapes that I have dyed and painted and wire together with silver wire. I've accented the wooden shapes with silver wire that I've shaped and hammered flat along with my own lamp-work glass beads, a little bit of amethyst, freshwater pearls, and pewter. It hangs on a 24" waxed canvas cord. The pendant is removable so it can be transferred to a different sort of chain.
