After making the two layer flower it occurred to me that the flower would look better with a third layer add ed to the flower.  this charm is created with three flower cutouts that have been formed over different sized forms until dry and then joined.

Once the clay dries, it maintains its form.  To make this charm, the wet clay is cut and then formed over a circular form.  Once dry, the two pieces are joined and then the clay is carved to hold the cubic zirconia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To see more detailed pictures or to purchase this earrings go to &lt;a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&amp;op=listing&amp;product_id=3115539"&gt;Small Flower Charm / Pendant with Lavender Cubic Zirconia&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;For more jewelry by Prairie Willow go to Prairie Willow's &lt;a href=http://www.prairiewillow.com&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=http://prairiewillow.artfire.com/&gt;studio&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8114677571149754386-2126611571251526974?l=prairiewillowjewelry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://prairiewillowjewelry.blogspot.com/feeds/2126611571251526974/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://prairiewillowjewelry.blogspot.com/2011/05/fine-silver-lavender-cubic-zirconia.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8114677571149754386/posts/default/2126611571251526974'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8114677571149754386/posts/default/2126611571251526974'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://prairiewillowjewelry.blogspot.com/2011/05/fine-silver-lavender-cubic-zirconia.html' title='Fine Silver &amp; Lavender Cubic Zirconia Flower Charm'/><author><name>Prairie Willow Jewelry</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10122729883402246105</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xINlOulcC8k/TUm_Ju0fCbI/AAAAAAAAABM/V8twV7N99Sw/s220/self-portrait-2-1024.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HPmwZ9Fkh6M/TcHWCfu1V7I/AAAAAAAAAD4/4ZjIW-ZM5kw/s72-c/11-0071-1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8114677571149754386.post-6160922804437501762</id><published>2011-04-29T17:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-29T17:37:50.108-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Simple Moonstone Earrings for Summer</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&amp;op=listing&amp;product_id=3146717"&gt;Round Flower Impressed Fine Silver Earrings with Moonstone Cabochon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oGx-f_COHJM/TbtYGikkz_I/AAAAAAAAADo/G4gIlwXeV8w/s1600/11-0078-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" width="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oGx-f_COHJM/TbtYGikkz_I/AAAAAAAAADo/G4gIlwXeV8w/s320/11-0078-1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;April has been a busy month so far.  At San Jose Made, a woman mentioned that it would be nice to have smaller versions of my diamond / shield and round / shield earrings.

I went to the event with low expectations which were quickly proven wrong.  San Jose Eats brought in huge crowds.  Food trucks have gained substantially in popularity over the years - so much so that they had double the number of people expected.  Combine that with a San Jose Sharks game that evening and traffic was great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think its a great idea that a community supports its local artisans.

I love stones and I particularly love combinations in the green - blue - violet spectrum.  This ring was made with PMC.  I created the ring band and let it dry.  Once dry, i mounted the fine silver bezels to the clay and applied some syringe decoration around the bezels and to the ring. After firing the ring, it was tumbled and patinated with liver of sulphur.  I then mounted two 5mm lapis lazuli cabochons and one 8mm chrysoprase cabochon in the ring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To see more detailed pictures or to purchase this ring go to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&amp;op=listing&amp;product_id=3069705"&gt;Chrysoprase &amp; Lapis Lazuli Fine Silver Ring&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more jewelry by Prairie Willow go to Prairie Willow's &lt;a href=http://www.prairiewillow.com&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; or&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=http://prairiewillow.artfire.com/&gt;studio&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8114677571149754386-6278461883028949863?l=prairiewillowjewelry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://prairiewillowjewelry.blogspot.com/feeds/6278461883028949863/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://prairiewillowjewelry.blogspot.com/2011/03/recent-work-lapis-lazuli-chrysoprase.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8114677571149754386/posts/default/6278461883028949863'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8114677571149754386/posts/default/6278461883028949863'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://prairiewillowjewelry.blogspot.com/2011/03/recent-work-lapis-lazuli-chrysoprase.html' title='Recent Work - Lapis Lazuli &amp; Chrysoprase Ring'/><author><name>Prairie Willow Jewelry</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10122729883402246105</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xINlOulcC8k/TUm_Ju0fCbI/AAAAAAAAABM/V8twV7N99Sw/s220/self-portrait-2-1024.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XPsA8oM-WjE/TY00GxVthJI/AAAAAAAAACE/enN6kHo4GMc/s72-c/11-0049.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8114677571149754386.post-6230222402498864042</id><published>2011-03-21T16:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-21T16:29:52.289-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Three Metal Jens Pind Bracelet</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&amp;op=listing&amp;product_id=2706577"&gt;Three Metal Jens Pind Bracelet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gEnyB5JPcWM/TYfctM7KmhI/AAAAAAAAAB8/LVRJN2eUUoA/s1600/08-0002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" width="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gEnyB5JPcWM/TYfctM7KmhI/AAAAAAAAAB8/LVRJN2eUUoA/s320/08-0002.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Lets twist it up a bit.  This Jens Pind pattern is made with 14 gauge hand made jump rings.  I used three metals: sterling silver, copper and brass and weaved them together to create this bracelet.  The bracelet is still a bold and classic design with the added interest of the three metals.  The bracelet is closed with a sterling silver and copper clasp.&lt;br /&gt;To see more detailed pictures or to purchase this ring go to &lt;a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&amp;op=listing&amp;product_id=2706577"&gt;Three Metal Jens Pind Bracelet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more jewelry by Prairie Willow go to Prairie Willow's &lt;a href=http://www.prairiewillow.com&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=http://prairiewillow.artfire.com/&gt;studio&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8114677571149754386-6230222402498864042?l=prairiewillowjewelry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://prairiewillowjewelry.blogspot.com/feeds/6230222402498864042/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://prairiewillowjewelry.blogspot.com/2011/03/three-metal-jens-pind-bracelet.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8114677571149754386/posts/default/6230222402498864042'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8114677571149754386/posts/default/6230222402498864042'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://prairiewillowjewelry.blogspot.com/2011/03/three-metal-jens-pind-bracelet.html' title='Three Metal Jens Pind Bracelet'/><author><name>Prairie Willow Jewelry</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10122729883402246105</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xINlOulcC8k/TUm_Ju0fCbI/AAAAAAAAABM/V8twV7N99Sw/s220/self-portrait-2-1024.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gEnyB5JPcWM/TYfctM7KmhI/AAAAAAAAAB8/LVRJN2eUUoA/s72-c/08-0002.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8114677571149754386.post-8301809618404264401</id><published>2011-03-18T14:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-21T16:14:34.500-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bold &amp; Classic - Jens Pind &amp; Pearl Bracelet</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&amp;op=listing&amp;product_id=2725721"&gt;Sterling Silver Jens Pind Bracelet with Pearl Clasp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hv2el6HFcrk/TYPLTrE5eWI/AAAAAAAAAB0/Tii2pyudP38/s1600/10-0088.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" width="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hv2el6HFcrk/TYPLTrE5eWI/AAAAAAAAAB0/Tii2pyudP38/s320/10-0088.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The Jens Pind chain mail pattern is one of my favorite chain mail patterns.

Copper Clay is similar to Precious Metal Clay in that it is made up of very fine metal particles mixed with an organic binder.  However, unlike Precious Metal Clay, Copper Clay must be fired in an oxygen free environment.  To achieve this environment, this clay is fired in a lidded container filled with carbon pellets.  This can be a messy process, but the end result is lovely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The panels in this bracelet were laid on a curved surface to dry.  Once fired, the panels maintain the curve to help the panels follow the curve of your wrist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I particularly like the pattern impressed in this bracelet.  It reminds me of a hot sunny day.  The center of the pattern is a circle with four rays.  The rest of the pattern radiates from the center.  Dreaming of that hot sunny day...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To see more detailed pictures or to purchase this bracelet go to &lt;a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&amp;op=listing&amp;product_id=2726293"&gt;Copper Panel Bracelet&lt;/a&gt;.

Rings can be as simple as a plain band or over the top mini-sculptures.  The nest ring leans more towards the later.  This particular ring is made of Precious Metal Clay.  I created a form to use for the creation of the nest and formed the clay around it.  Once dried, i finished the green ware and then added the "eggs".  The "eggs" are made of PMC.  I create d the spheres as a means to use any leftover small bits of clay.  Once dry, the nest is attached to the band, finished and fired.  I tumbled the ring to give it strength and left it a shiny silver.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To see more detailed pictures or to purchase this ring go to &lt;a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&amp;op=listing&amp;product_id=2730493"&gt;Fine Silver Nest Ring&lt;/a&gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;For more jewelry by Prairie Willow go to Prairie Willow's &lt;a href=http://www.prairiewillow.com&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; or&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=http://prairiewillow.artfire.com/&gt;studio&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8114677571149754386-363736580312180075?l=prairiewillowjewelry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://prairiewillowjewelry.blogspot.com/feeds/363736580312180075/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://prairiewillowjewelry.blogspot.com/2011/03/fine-silver-nest-ring.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8114677571149754386/posts/default/363736580312180075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8114677571149754386/posts/default/363736580312180075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://prairiewillowjewelry.blogspot.com/2011/03/fine-silver-nest-ring.html' title='Fine Silver Nest Ring'/><author><name>Prairie Willow Jewelry</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10122729883402246105</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xINlOulcC8k/TUm_Ju0fCbI/AAAAAAAAABM/V8twV7N99Sw/s220/self-portrait-2-1024.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8114677571149754386.post-6676036331486994119</id><published>2011-03-07T14:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-03-07T14:33:49.003-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Time to Start My Garden - Peridot Wire Wrapped Necklace</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&amp;op=listing&amp;product_id=2897998&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peridot Wire Wrapped Necklace&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.prairiewillow.com/blog/11-0017.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" width="200" src="http://www.prairiewillow.com/blog/11-0017.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I started rototilling my vegetable garden this morning.

I don't know if I'm happy or sad that we didn't have any snow when i woke up this morning.  I grew up in the midwest where we had plenty of snow.

The panels are connected with sterling silver jump rings. The bracelet has been patinated with liver of sulpher. The patination process was stopped once hints of blue were achieved.

I love the lovely warm orange and brown tones of copper.  If you love copper, then this is a necklace to get you noticed.  This necklace was made with copper clay.  Each washer was individually cut from an embossed sheet of clay.  For this necklace, I chose to use leaf or leaf like patterns.  After the rings were cut, they were fired in my kiln and connected with copper jump rings to form the necklace.  The necklace is 16 1/4" long.  The necklace can be purchased at &lt;a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&amp;op=listing&amp;product_id=2730076"&gt;Prairie Willow Jewelry&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;See more at &lt;a href=http://www.prairiewillow.com&gt;Prairie Willow's Website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8114677571149754386-9134762626822405999?l=prairiewillowjewelry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://prairiewillowjewelry.blogspot.com/feeds/9134762626822405999/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://prairiewillowjewelry.blogspot.com/2011/01/graduated-copper-washer-necklace.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8114677571149754386/posts/default/9134762626822405999'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8114677571149754386/posts/default/9134762626822405999'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://prairiewillowjewelry.blogspot.com/2011/01/graduated-copper-washer-necklace.html' title='Graduated Copper Washer Necklace - Featured Item January 11, 2011'/><author><name>Prairie Willow Jewelry</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10122729883402246105</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xINlOulcC8k/TUm_Ju0fCbI/AAAAAAAAABM/V8twV7N99Sw/s220/self-portrait-2-1024.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8114677571149754386.post-1541145623434421809</id><published>2011-01-09T10:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-11T09:11:52.387-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Classic Byzantine Chain in Copper &amp; Silver - Featured Item February 9, 2011</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&amp;op=listing&amp;product_id=2716981"&gt;Sterling Silver &amp; Copper Byzantine Necklace&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.prairiewillow.com/blog/09-0095.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" width="200" src="http://www.prairiewillow.com/blog/09-0095.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.prairiewillow.com/blog/09-0095-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="84" width="200" src="http://www.prairiewillow.com/blog/09-0095-3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This is a lovely, classic chain in the byzantine chain mail pattern.

To make this pendant, the pPMC syringe is laid down over a pencil sketch of a leaf.  Once dry, the PMC is finished.  I then created a tube set Cubic Zirconia and attached it to the leaf.  The leaf was then fired, tumbled and patinated.  I stopped the patination process when the bronze color was achieved.  That color seemed right for a leaf.

This lovely necklace is in the Jens Pind chainmail pattern.  How it got that name, I do not know.  It is a lovely bold pattern with a contemporary feel.  The links in the chain are made from 16 gauge Argentium Sterling Silver.  Argentium Sterling Silver is a proprietary alloy that resists tarnish.  It contains the same proportion of Silver as sterling silver.  It is the alloy components that are different.  Sterling contains 7.5% copper which is what causes the tarnish in sterling silver.  Argentium Sterling Silver replaces some of the copper with germanium. This increases the tarnish resistance of the metal.

The amphora is made by brushing PMC paste over a handmade form, until there was enough clay to create a stable form.  Handles were made by taking a thin snake of PMC clay and attaching it to the clay form.  Once the handles were dry, PMC syringe and a cubic zirconia were used to decorate the amphora.  The amphora was then fired.  The handmade core burns away in the firing process.  The piece was tumbled to strengthen the metal.  I then used liver of sulpher to create the patina.  THe chain consists of two wire wrap chains and one commercial chain which was patinated to coordinate with the amphora.  To bring out the blue and purple tones of the patination, the wire wrap chains were made with iolite and amethyst.
