I like to do lots of wire work. That is sort of a signature feature of mine. In order to keep this blog short and sweet I will not got into a lot of detail describing how I made each piece (also I do not know the names of all the stones.
I tried to use at least a good sampling of the stones, etc. that Robin sent..
Hope you like all of my pieces.

Heavens! You made so many pieces!! And, they're all so wonderful to boot. I have to say that my favorite of the bunch is the one with the silvertone "dreams" key. I love the blue stone tube, but especially the wirework you added at the top. Awesome-sauce. . .all of it!
Thanks Crafty Hope
OMG FAY!!! You did such an amazing job!!! I love all of the designs of course but I do have a couple of favorites!!! The Last necklace with the Banded Agate in Orange and Black, that is beautiful!! I Love the Dreams one,, and , well you get the idea!! Thank you so much for being such an amazing partner!! Be Blessed!
I really like the locket and key necklace, it has a very hidden treasure feel to it.
HI Fay, WOW! you created a lot with your swap beads. I like turquoise too. It looks wonderful with the lime green accents and copper. The idea that the lock opens is way cool. The dark blue crystals are the perfect accent for the daggers. The pearl fringe looks great with that stone focal.Wonderful designs.
Wow! You created so many pieces. It's great you were so inspired by what you received.
Oh my goodness - you created so many beautiful things! You certainly have an eye for tone and balance. Amazing work.
Absolutely LOVELY pieces! My favorite is the lock and key....so awesomely creative! You did a fantastic job with each piece!
Linda
You created so many 'key' pieces, they look cool
Beautiful and simple. Love all the pieces although I am partial to the pair of earrings above the pink flower pair!
Really nice work! I think my fav is the way you used the green stone and chandelier crystal!
All the designs tend to be minimalist but with lots of small details that I love - the wire wrapped dangles, fringes and especially the wire work on the last focal! Oh, and wire bail on the necklace with the silver color key, and the necklace with the crystal dangle, where the cord is also the bail. Marvelous designs!
I love all your pieces. They all look easy to wear. Good job!
You made so many great pieces! I love the last piece. I think the way it lays makes the piece stick out so much. Great pieces, all of them
