Hi everyone,

Just wanted to show you a couple of pendants I made. The first one is a piece of seaglass someone had given me. 

The second one is a tree of life pendant. 

Thanks for looking!

Love them both but the Tree Of Life is absolutely stunning! I don't know anything about working with wire so it's looks extra intriguing to me.

Greetings from Karin.

Beautiful, Maddy!  And I loooooooooove seaglass!(lol)

That stone in your decond pendant looks familiar, but I can't quite place it.  Is it an agate?

Maddy just absolutley awsome, the seeglass work ist fantastic, i would love to have some seaglass myself but never found any to buy. and your wirework looks really good, i know how difficult it is to bring it into form and harmony, i struggle there very much so far.

When i scrolled down, i got overwhelmed, that tree is just a dream come true!! Would you mind if i try to make this tree design of yours myself, i would just so love to have one similar like this!

Thank you so much! And of course you can use this design! I just saw a picture on the web and used it as an example.

Hi Val, thanks so much! I have NO idea what that green stone is. It was in a box I had. It looks like a turquoise but it's green. It is a bead,though. I was looking for a round (half-round) one, but I couldn't find one that was big. If you find out what it is, please let me know.

It looks so dratted familiar to me!  Now I'm going to have to hunt around to find out what it is, unless someone else knows, otherwise I'll go crazy!  I'll let you know if I track it down.

You did a good job on those pendants! They're both pretty, but I really like the sea glass pendant the best.

Maddy i had a try to do a tree of life pendant like yours, i got gifted some Beadalon wire, the wire was great to work with, the best i got so far, though of lots bending and clumsy crumpling it did not break, but all didn't help i couldn't make/get it as natural and charming looking like your tree, not so easy.....mine does look like a big rock fell from heaven and the poor tree can't last the weight :). My beady friends said i should forget how the tree from the nice hawaiian lady looked and look at my tree with new eyes, but i can't at all, got to try it again and again and again until i got one i like like yours. Your tree is giving me a challenge:)

Hey Maddy, yes should have loaded a pic to show you my try, so i will do now, but i don't like it very much, well i will anyway not give up until i got one that i like as much as your beautiful pendant.

i didn't know how to start at all so it got a bit messy, but i think i saw know that you used a a wire for each string and spiral, right?

Still thinking it look like a rock a fell from heaven and the tree can't last weight :)), next try i will do in my christmas holidays.

Greetings and thanks again for this nice challenge Maddy
