Recently I experimented with combining
White Copper and regular Copper Metal Clay and here are the results.
I love the look!
Some say they look like Petrified Wood or Sliced Agate!

I tried using complimenting beads on the wire wrapping
but in the end they looked best wrapped simply with no embellishment.
Whether they resemble anything else or not I think they are very beautiful and interesting. I love how the where the 2 metals alloyed to created a third color where they connected. Exaclyl what I was hoping for.
If you'd like to see how I made them check out my post on Art Jewelry Elements HERE.

Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI do love these new pieces. And I think you're right to keep the rest of the earrings relatively simple. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThose really are super cool Kristi! I also think they have that 'natural' look of a stone or wood, like others have suggested.
ReplyDeleteOh my! That is a great alchemy of surprises! I can't wait to see what you do with this technique in your style (and of course, I will want to have some of my very own!) Enjoy the day. Erin
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shards! Love these Kristi!
ReplyDeleteVery cool and I agree with the petrified wood comment. Wonder what would happen if you started to apply some patina colors here and there...
ReplyDeleteThese are sooo beautiful. You have created something special here, Kristi.
ReplyDeleteThese really are drop dead gorgeous !!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, super cool!! I love the rustic look, and I agree, keeping it to a simple wrapping is best. The drops really stand out. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Nice and simple was definitely the way forward :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow! These really do look like Agate...so cool Kristi!
ReplyDeleteLove the effect you're getting with this - definitely a keeper technique! And you're right, all these needed was just a nice wire wrap - perfection! :)
