Tree Buds

I really enjoy creating glass combinations and seeing what shape the inclusions take during the fusing process.  The pendant looks like there is a branch with some tree buds, hence the name.  The earrings match in terms of color, although they don't have any 'buds'.  

I experimented some with the wire wrap on the earrings and I like the way the glass centers are framed.   I also added some spirals to this, and that was before my friend Sandy of SCJ Jewelry Design explained the Beauty of Spirals in her blog!  Thanks to Sandy I have some insight as to why we find spirals so  attractive.

Hi Sandy!
Thanks. Yes I thought you would enjoy the spirals. :)

Hi Kristin,
Thank you. Glad you like the spiral addition...I plan on trying more variations like that.

Yes the spirals add even something extra...I look forward to the variations. I could see them getting long...spirals then glass then spirals, etc.
