I've been out of the scene for quite awhile, trying to stabilize my website sucks up all my time & focus! But this piece was creating just recently and I'm very fond of doing mixed metal pieces in general. I love organic, asymmetrical, amorphous shapes...curves & spirals and such. This pieces combines sterling & copper abstract shapes with a setting of deep green botryoidal malachite. Curvy, double-balled heavy gauge sterling wire creates a bail & fine copper wire "stitches" the sterling & copper shapes together. A mix of malachite & old India silver beads add more detail.

I have plans in the new year to enlarge my technique to sheet metal sawing, and cold connections. Your pieces are inspiring! Here's my humble entry in copper and sterling silver and rustic cut chrysocolla.

My first solo Keum Boo Pendant. Made from fine silver and 23.5 Kt gold foil, on a sterling silver chain. The texture was done with my Cuddlebug embossing machine and a commercial pattern. I use a Bee Hive Kiln as my heat source.

Here's a piece I had not planned on making but a new student wanted to learn rivets and I always find rivets and mixed metals go really well together.Sterling silver, brass, and copper.
Thanks for visiting our blog. The artists would love to hear from you so if you have a moment, please leave a comment. Cheers!
Check back next month to see what the designers do with the Pantone Color of the Year.

Fun accessories , I made myself a reversible necklace using a Dime and a Penny
Pam Hurst
I made this pendant with silver, 18k gold and a blue topaz. I reticulated the silver first.
Kim Forrer
Sterling silver hoops with some brass chain I received from a chain supplier as a sample. I don’t use brass chain but didn’t want to waste it so used it in these earrings.
Karen Nelmes
I made this pendant and a few more that I am still working on. Along with earrings and bracelets. It is copper and brass with labradorite teardrop beads.

Loved seeing the results!!! Each one of these artistic creations has a unique quality...all so different and all give such true meaning to the words 'handmade artisan jewelry'. Excellent job! Hope to be able to participate in future challenges when other commitments slow down:)
