Site issues….so new stuff is here!

June 16, 2009

Well…apparently my site host had some power issues at their main data storage site which caused my home website to be down for a good part of yesterday. It also means that it will be another day at least until I can edit or add things to it. Because I just cannot wait to show off some of the pretty new things I worked on over the last few days, I am going to take advantage of having this blog and give you all a preview here! I have been working diligently on twisted wire filigree designs and am able to work smaller and smaller every time! These three new pendants will be a part of my Wire Hearts Collection. I will be adding more as these really are fun and satisfying to make!

The larger of the three is a mere 1.5″ (32mm) across…the other two measure 1″ (23mm) across!
The dainty heart on the right is a birthday gift for my daughter. The others will be made available for purchase on my site as soon as I have access to editing features again. (should be Wednesday morning at the latest).

NEW! Filigree 9 pointed star pendants…

June 11, 2009

I have finally been blessed with the time I’ve been yearning for to begin work on my new line of 9 pointed star pendants! Each one features a glass cabochon or bead made in my glass studio.
Thanks to the wonderful and talented tutelage of Jeanne Rhodes-Moen and inspiration by Victoria Lansford, I was able to embark on this amazing journey into silver filigree. I am hoping to expand my designs beyond 9 pointed stars as I gain a stronger foothold on the techniques involved in filigree work, but for now am certainly happy and content to focus on my 9-stars again!

This is my latest and is available for purchase
on my website ( http://rosesofonegarden.com/bahai.html )
