I chage up the beads for seasonal how lite for winter or holiday theme colors, carnelian chips for Fall etc.. Right now I am working on one in metal clay instead of wire and I’m carving the tree ,. A bit intimidating but I’ll get there.

I also enjoy making them. I’ve also made earrings. Quite a challenge there. I use 18g wire for the frames for the earrings and 14g for pendants. I always hammer. Makes it glisten in the light! Love it!

Especially the bangle where the tree looks like it’s living through a hurricane. Living in Florida, I can see making one of these as a tribute to our beautiful and scary storms.

There is such a variety of ways to make them and I know with mine, no two are ever exactly alike. I like how you used what looks like a hammered frame on yours. I’ve done that with a few of mine but mostly I use heavy gauge round wire for the frame.
Good for you enjoying teaching and making them.

Makes me want to learn how to make them, too. So many possibilities. We usually see only the round frame and pebble beads in variety of colors. Thanks fir sharing.
