Artist's Comments

There's a story behind this one.

I took all of my jewelry to a local jewelry store to see if they would like to buy/sell it for me. They accepted almost all of my jewelry and of course I was overjoyed.

Then, the very next day I got a call from the store. A woman came in and wanted three stones wrapped for her son that is dying of cancer. The stones were given to him for healing and he wanted to wear them instead of carry them in his pocket. After his death, his mother and wife wished to wear them in his memory. (This gent also has three children under four years old, so I'm even more heartbroken by the situation.)

I had never done wire wrapping before, so I offered to do a beaded wrap on the pendants. The store owner thought that would be beautiful and called the client. The client said that they would prefer to just keep it simple with a silver wrap... so the store owner commissioned me to make a beaded wrap as an extra gift.

I completed the wire wrapped stones and I was so happy with the results! My first try is simple, but elegant and I am really happy with this beaded bag. (I'll upload the wrapped stones next.)

Inside the bag I included a seven carat fire agate as my gift to the mother.

Thank you! It was hard enough to do the work... I can't imagine how terrible the mother and wife feel. Ugh... I am heartbroken by it and I haven't even met the family. My dealings have all been with the store. (Which technically, I'm glad I don't have to meet the family. It's hard enough to charge them for the wrapping knowing what I know -- but if I had to ask for payment and look her in the eyes? ACK! As it is, I'm ripping myself off and charging them just barely enough to cover the supplies.)

Thank you!!! I'm really happy with it... I hope she likes it! I haven't heard anything yet. I don't know if that's good or bad.
