An ocean blue and brown stone necklace, handcrafted in copper. This necklace was inspired by a themed event I entered named Frosty Shores. I let my mind wander and go for a walk near the ocean. I wanted to capture the layers upon layers of color and texture. On the dunes above the shore, there might be snow or frost in winter so the dazzle of white will strike your eyes. Then you'll see sand, or beach pebbles, a row of wet seaweed or drift wood along the high tide line, sand again, but darker since it’s wet from incessant waves. Then finally the water, maybe a layer of foam along its edge all the way to the horizon where it meets the sky.
My handmade copper circle pendant reflects these frosty shore colors and textures in layer by layer of wired natural stone, glass, and copper beads. I first made the copper circle frame from heavy gauge wire, then using finer gauge copper wired on 9 tiers of beads in colors ranging in color from crystal clear, sand and rock earth tones, through ocean blue.
