Summer Jewelry Challenge: Project #9

I have been working on Project #9 on and off for a couple of weeks now, and I finally have something to show for it! This was definitely the hardest one for me so far, as I went into it with a definite vision of how I wanted the piece to look, and I went through a lot of metal before I resigned myself to the fact that if I wanted to actually complete the piece, I was going to have to go with what I had. With that said, I did end up with two versions of the project: the first one looks more like the version in the book, and the second one concentrates more on the "cut-out" area and how to fill that negative space. All in all, I am happy with both pieces. I was really excited to use some beads that I bought from a wonderful etsy vendor, gypsywoman (her shop is great for beautiful vintage beads).

We are off to Tucson tomorrow for a gig with my son's band,
Two Days Til Tomorrow. They are opening up for Fireflight and Downcast Fable, and it should be a great concert! If you are in the area, they will be playing at:

Tucson Community Church
4950 West Pima Farms Road
Tucson, Arizona 85741
Cost : $10 - (480) 812-1100 for ticket info



All in all, life is pretty darn good!

This piece is wonderful. The words speak to me so strongly and the design is so uniquely yours. I love the way your hung the metal strip with the words down the middle, framing it with the copper. Strong, powerful, inspiring piece!

Molly, What a beautiful layered piece. I hope to use text soon myself.
Your final piece looks awesome. I know you worked hard on both of them.
How was your trip to see your son? I have been in SA visiting my daughter. I didn't know about the storm until last last night. We had been busy, and not watching TV.
It is starting to rain, and I luv rain......
Thank your for: Philippians 4:6-7
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds throught Christ Jesus.
