The past week, I saw many friends and took some workshops at Art & Soul in Portland. Deryn Mentock's "Wing Keeper Necklace" class really got my creative juices flowing. Check out her blog Here for more examples of her work and her teaching schedule. I wanted to learn how she makes her fabric, wire wrapped beads, attachments to ribbons and other cold connections. Her design combinations of wire, chain, beads, antique jewels and fiber make beautiful necklaces and bracelets. Here's my necklace-
the fabric, wire wrapped beads-
the clasp and dream catcher beads-
I'll be adding posts for other workshops I attended during the next week.

Lovely wirework, Paula! Your necklace is beautiful. Love the way you combined fibers, beads and wire.
I love your necklace. I love putting fiber and metal together. It compliments each other so well.
