Jewelry Making Newbie!

[BrendaPC]

hello everyone! my name is Brenda, i am a newbie here wanting to join in the fun! i've been enjoying looking at all your amazing creations that i am a little skeptical and shy about showing my own because you are all so amazing! and i have just started tinkering with making jewelry about 4 months ago, and loving every minute, but i do have lots to learn. I believe i have to apply to the beaders club? if you will all have me

This was my very first try at wire Wrapping my own version of "herring bone" style earrings, i used 20g gold wire, and boy did it make me struggle! and some lovely tahitians from my "odds and ends" stash and tourmaline gemstone.

Newbie to PG, perhaps, but you've got skills. And if that's from your odds and ends, I wonder what your regular jewelry looks like!

Brenda,

Welcome! Your earrings are beauties! The tourmaline and Tahitian colors play so well together! And working with 20g wire, an achievement indeed!!

Those are really great, fun and beautiful earrings! Not a jewelry maker, just a jewelry consumer!

Thank you very much everyone for your kind words, I am glad you all liked them!

Thankyou Cyndayco, you are too kind.... my odds and ends stash definitely has some beauties, while most can't be perfectly matched, i always try to pair up similar colors and shapes and put them to good use.

You did a great job with the wire wrapping..I imagine that 20g was tough on the fingers lol

Thank you, It was definitely tough on my poor fingers at first, but then i got smart and used a microfiber cloth to help me bend and smooth the wire
