I ♥ TEXAS!!!
My family and my brother's family went on vacation to San Antonio, TX. It was my first time to visit Texas. We drove through all the big cities. It's absolutely gorgeous out there. So we visited Sea World, The Alamo, The Tower of the Americas, The Riverwalk, and The Japanese Tea Gardens. We didn't even get to do everything because there is just so much to do in San Antonio. We had such a blast at Sea World that we spent 3 days there. It's absolutely wonderful and amazing there in San Antonio. If you've never been well you just have to go and experience it all for yourself.

New Sterling Silver Sparrow Necklace
The Fuchsia Sparrow Necklace I have in my Etsy shop is one of my most viewed items. My sis-in-law suggested I make a black one. So I set out to make another one this time with black beads. I had ordered these black roses and thought they would all look pretty awesome together. Let me know what you think. Click the link below to view in my Etsy Shop.
This necklace was made using Sterling Silver wire for wirework and jump rings. Necklace features a Sterling Silver Sparrow Pendant (21x24mm) with 2-15mm Black Rose Beads. I also used Black Czech Fire Polished beads, Sterling Silver Clasp, and Extender Chain. Length of necklace is 19" long including extender chain.

Triple Flower Helm (Parallel) Chainmaille Necklace
This necklace is made using the Helm/Parallel Chainmaille Weave weaved into 3 flowers. I used sterling silver wire for the 75-18 gauge jump rings. I then added the flowers to a sterling silver Long Curb Chain and used a sterling silver Figure 8 clasp to finish it off. Full length is 18 1/2". All my sterling silver jump rings are tumble polished for a beautiful shine and strength.

Helm/Parallel Chainmaille Bracelet-Custom Work
These Sterling Silver Bracelets were made using the helm (also known as parallel) chainmaille weave. For womens bracelets I use smaller jump rings in 18 gauge sterling silver wire to make it more feminine. This can also be made into necklaces and earrings. The mens bracelets I use 16 gauge sterling silver wire to make larger rings and a figure 8 clasp. These were custom ordered as a his and her gift set. I unfortunately did not get pictures of them side by side to see the difference in sizes.
