A peek into my workshop...
Wire Wrapped Peace Sign Necklace
When I put the photo below up on my facebook page
Friday night, I entitled it "The Friday Night Special!"
I was playing with some fine gauge sterling silver wire before you know it, the peace sign appeared! ...I had some beads in mind that I had been in the mood to work with - mainly the small rainbow moonstones on the right. I decided to add just 2 or 3 of them to the pendant as accents.
Problem was, once I had the moonstones attached they faded right into the peace sign design! This would not do... so I used a Liver of Sulfur mixture to patina the silver, transforming it into a dark gray.
patina solution.
on it and just polished it up a bit, removing some of the gray
so that you could see spots of the shiny sterling silver.
I love the way this turned out!
What do you think?
