Wire work pendant 'Reflection'
Hi Guys,
In this tutorial I will show you how to create a negative space pendant with a bead focal. I will show you how to create the frame, make the bail and create a little bead cage for undrilled stones. I will make a drilled bead option available.
I am using some absolutely incredible fluorescent focals. These focals are known as uranium or vaseline glass. The glass is infused with a trace amount of uranium which causes it to glow a bright green under UV light. Don't let the name scare you though, it is perfectly safe to touch and wear as the amount is negligible and less than what humans are exposed day to day from sunlight. There are many beautiful glass ware collections using this type of glass.
I hope you like it! Leave a comment below!
