Hopped up on Diet Coke again this evening, I decided to work on adding metal rings to the pendants and seashells I had successfully drilled holes in before. I chose to use my copper wire because I only have copper, brass, and this really cheap other wire that rusts super easily, and copper seemed the nicest color with the turquoise-y green and other stone colors. My tools and skills are rather limited. I have jewelry pliers and that's like it, so I don't have any sweet patinas to use or soldering or welding skills or experience whatsoever. This is the state these are at. Maybe I'll add feathers and beads. Or just leave them alone in their found form. (See This Entry for the beginning of the tale! http://catherinecole.blogspot.com/2011/08/august-month-of-little-tasks.html )

| Jamestown Jewelry! Named because I found the things at Jamestown Beach. (I found out later it may not be legal to take things from beaches) |
 |
| Two seashells and the other pendants with rings! |
 |
| Here's the oddest shaped piece. I love the direction of the painted hatching stripes on this one. |
 |
| Here's one of the ones with two holes. I should go into jewelry modeling. jk! |
 |
| Here's one of the pieces with the two rings. I hope to get some chain some time so that I can attached separate strand to each side which comes together. |
 |
| This pic was unintentional, but kind of perfect.! I hung my necklace on my bulletin board which is covered in a bunch of pictures, and its the teardrop shaped piece that lands here on this Roy Lichtenstein print-out.. Happy Accident! :-D |
Also, I continued carving my woodcut. I'm just about done carving what I wanted to be white. Or off-white. Or cream. I haven't decided yet. Maybe I'll do them all! But it (paper, ink) gets expensive. I've been wanting to go with the limited edition strategy of making prints (like 10 and under in my edition) because, as also seen from prior post, I have limited storage and I'm not actively trying to sell my prints. (Yet. )
