Workin on a custom piece

Ever seen these? The wire wrapped trees with natural stone? A friend of mine had one and stones had started to fall off - "Wonder if Tish can do anything with this?!?!"



Popped all the stones off, and have this great pile of jasper.


Poor little wire tree - wonder if I can do anything with this.


She also gave me this beautiful piece of carnelian (her grandfather cut and polished it) and a piece of tiger eye. She wants a necklace with the carnelian as the focal with the jasper pieces from the tree.


For the design, I paired up the jasper with tiger eye, lapis, bronzite, kyanite and rose quartz.



It is started - how will it turn out?
