I have no idea what weeks are which any more. Things have been depressing and hectic all at the same time.
Anyway here are a few pieces that I have made lately. Wandering Red River Queen

wk2_Delia Stone_ Netting w/ accent stitch
Many of you are familiar with my needlelace obsession. :) It continues with this post. I have discovered that I really like the look of needlelace on a teardrop shaped stone, and more than that I've discovered I love adding this little accent stitch to finish it off. I like the something extra that it seems to add to the overall piece. Here are two examples of a netted bezel being finished off with the accent stitch. The first is a lovely piece of wonderstone with a Tundra Sapphire accent, and the second is of course a lovely piece of labradorite w a Montanna blue Swarovski accent.
Something old ... with a new twist. Not a big twist, mind you, but enough to make it a bit more unique. Thanks for looking. I'll be updating my blog as soon as I have the chance.

Week 52-Black and White-How Far?
My last piece for 2008 is a pin made from copper with a lampwork bead that I made in a class I had taken. Although my interest does not lie (at least right now) with making glass beads, I have an appreciation of the skill and talent (along with creativity) it takes to make glass beads. The dangles are head pins that I made from sterling silver and copper. I've had the small picture frame of the Eiffel Tower for a long time and thought this was a good piece for it.
To all of you..........it's been a great pleasure being a part of a very talented and artistic group of people. I've enjoyed every week and thank all of you for the inspiration that you've provided. I have a long way to go but hopefully will continue to grow in YOJ2009.

Week 51-Wrapping it Up!-Twisty Curvy
Although the end is near it seems like the beginning for me! I feel like I've come a long way since January 2008 when I first participated in YOJ2008. My pieces, although very basic, have pushed me to learn new skills and experiment with those skills.
This piece was created without any true plan in mind. The turquoise donut because of it's roughness seems to be a perfect embellishment for this piece. I made a double-sided headpin to attach the donut.

Opal earrings
Made obviously from Iza's tutorials. :-)
Bio Lemon earrings 1
The beads are so sparkly and lovely! But I couldn't photograph them well.
Snow Black
Snow Black is a necklace that somehow summarizes the whole year 2008 in my jewelry making - swirls and curls so often present in wire-wrapping and on the other hand new experiments I've already gone through like leaving silver oxidised to deep black and combining it with contrasting materials.
I hope the new year will be at least as successful as the old one ;) I've sold this necklace today on 6:00 pm 30 minutes after it was listed in my gallery :) Since we'll be building a house this year I hope my jewelry will still be attractive for customers and inspiring for other wire-wrapping artists (new tutorial is already on it's way ;)).
I hope you'll have a great time tonight celebrating the turn of years. May all you New Year resolutions inspire you to become more happy and enjoy your everyday life :)
Hugs,
Iza
The Grand Finale
The Grand Finale,
I would like to say thank you to everybody that gave me comments thur out this year, I would especially like to thank Laura Holm for being such a great friend and always having the right words to keep me going, and to Lola D for helping inspire me to take the plunge and join YOJ. I think all the artist here ROCK!! I cant thank everybody enough for letting me be a part of history in the making.
As for my final piece, I was again inspired by another jewelry artist on jewelry lessons emon852000 He did The Royal Batik - Bracelet and later wrote a tutorial . The bracelet I did is in 18g wire for the base and 26g for the coils and weaving, I used lots of beads amethyst, perdiot,and citrine roundels, and in the center 4 yellow mystic topaz beads. This bracelet was a lot of work but when I put it on, I get so many complements form everybody that see it. C&C always welcome. Thank you so very much !!! I am looking forward to the New Year and hope everybody has a most wonderful year ahead with lots of great works of art flowing out to fill the pages here on YOJ. Linda Rosa my web site
