This past weekend we went to a small rock & mineral show just a few hours north of us. It was a great adventure digging through slabs, boxes, barrels, and seeing everything spread across all of tables.
As I wondered down the first aisle, I came to a vendor from Colorado that I've bought from before. He always has some breath taking raw slabs, but to my surprise, this time he had several that were small enough to wire wrap! I was so excited and spent about an hour there going through all the tubs full of slabs, finding just the right ones that gave me inspiration to wire wrap.
These new pieces will be wired into pendants, some will go into necklace sets and others will be set alone as single pendants to wear on cords, collars or chains. The new slabs are raw and will be unique pendants that are left in their natural state for a more beautiful look. I look forward to wire wrapping these slabs and then designing with some of them.
Being somewhat of irregular shapes, wire wrapping them will be somewhat of a challenge. The slabs are a mix of several agates, a couple of jaspers, chevron amethyst, ruby in kyanite from India, tiger iron, and a piece of laguna agate from Mexico.
Once I get them wired and into some necklace set, I'll feature them here on the blog, so check back often --- just never know what you might find here!
