Part of my new Brilliance Collection, this is one of my latest crinklized dichroic pendants, Flamboyant! For this piece I used 20 gauge square Argentium silver wire. And I also twisted some of the wire to add a more delicate touch to this piece. The glass is part of CBS Dichroic puzzle pattern and has more of a gold and salmon coloration.Currently, I am revamping my Etsy store and will be adding this as one of my new pieces.
This is one of the pendants that I worked on last night with my new Lindstrom Rx pliers. I so enjoy tools and ones that are designed and work well are my favorites. I quickly took to these new pliers, so much so that all of my new wire wrapping tools will be Lindstroms. I purchased their ergonomic model (the Rx) and they have the greatest feel and touch of any pliers I've used since I've started wire wrapping. If you are looking for a great price on Lindstrom pliers, check out Urban Maille. They have a great website, beautiful chain maille, and wonderful customer service too!

Beautiful! Good choice on the Lindstrom Rx's. They are also my favorite wire tools.
