Description
When I looked at this lovely turquoise cabochon, I just knew that it wanted a tree to grow out of. To make this necklace I used copper, brass and sterling silver metals. I hand cut and textured all the pieces and soldered them all together. I then pickel the piece with citric acid (which is an all natural made from citrus foods). Then a patinia is added to accent the turquois.Related content

I have several tumbled stones that I recieved as a gifts but I have no use for. I need drilled stones with a hole large enough for two pieces of 1mm hemp or they have to be wire wrapped with a jump ring. If you would be willing to do an art trade I can send you some of the stones as part of a trade.

SWEET!!!! I would love them! Even if I can't use them in jewelry, I collect rocks and I love growing my collection. Just let me know what you want to trade!

I was thinking you could make a few pendants for me, maybe two or three. I've got over a dozen stones/crystals and the weight will make shipping expensive. You know what pieces I likes, but if you can't remember just go through my favs in the jewelry section. I have a real passion for the simple Goddess symbol of the endowed Mother so if you want to make a few of those, that'd be awesome. My totem is the snake so if you can incorporate that at all into a piece, that'd be awesome.

You're welcome
I love it when an artist embraces the change. I fought it back when I was in High School, but have since discovered that my art will always change with my life.
