My Bead Soup partner from last year was Nan Emmet of Spirited Earth. She makes wonderful ceramic pendants and beads (not to mention really, really cool spirit rattles).
This picture is the first necklace I made with her cute starfish pendant. meh. I was going for simple and just got blah. So, I turned to my favorite reason for working with metal - the hammer. :)
I beat the hell out of some copper, made some dangles, and voila - simple without the meh.

"beat the hell out of" -- I knew I loved you for a reason!
:) I set things on fire, I beat things with a hammer - now I just need to find a way to incorporate primal screams into my designs. lol Love you too, Lori!
Doug will come running from the loft if you start primal screaming! Love the designs.
He just waits for me to come upstairs holding an appendage. :)
i love, love the beaten metal addition,really puts some zing into the design.
