Phoenix Tears
In order to construct this weeks project I implemented some of Eni Oken's techniques. Since I had not done this type of wire wrapping in a while...it took me a little longer than I expected...LoL! =)
The body of the necklace is constructed using Carnelian, Smokey Quartz, 
Citrine, Flower Agate, Sun stone and two different shades of Swarovski Crystals. Metals used are Copper beads, Silver beads and last but not least Sterling Silver wire.
And for the focal I used a piece of Carnelian...I started to experiment with another of Eni's tutorials to highlight it.
Thank you,
Deborah aka Sneekbead
So lovely and crisp. That was my first impression. I love the colours and Eni's styles are all wonderful. You've done a terrific job of interpreting her styles.

Wow! That must have taken hours! Despite the amount of wire and the size of the stones it is still a delicate looking piece.

Gorgeous work, Deborah, just gorgeous! What rich colors, too. I have to ask -- how long did it take you?
