Ahh, the beauty of fractals and patterns combined with beads & wire in
an interesting piece of jewelry can make your project truly unique. For
these beauties, its been an interesting process. NOTE: They are not glass...
please read the paragraph below to understand the materials that make up
these dangles.
First the digital "paintings", by Myra Nicholas (that's me), are printed
out. Then i adhere them on to a 1/16th inch thick wood blank (shapes like
octagons, teardrops, diamonds, and such). After smoothing the surface
and drilling, I dip the entire piece into a permanent, non-toxic polyurethane.
You get a nice glossy coating, and a very tough surface after a few days
"curing". Holes are big enough for a jump ring, but not so large they
distract from the piece.
I'm making these in matched pieces (as close as i can get) and you'll
get 2 large, or 4 small, or 3 medium, but basically, matched sets do that
they can be used in the same piece. These are all individually made, so
please allow for some variations.

WIGGLE COIL (8"LONG)
Great stuff. Transforms any necklace into an attention-getting "what
is THAT?" neckpiece. We love it and use it in the kitz, in memory wire
necklaces, and in anything we can. Made of steel spring wire and tinted
in fabulous pastel shades, its a real hit. They run $2.00 each, but if
you get a dozen, they're $10.50 for 12. Can't guarantee color choice.
We get assorted, you get assorted. You can have the most effective use
by cutting them into pieces and using them in the Twist 'n' Curl or stringing
them with beads (alternating) in a necklace. They're pretty indestructable,
don't crush easily and cut well with wire cutters.
