Something New for You
I wanted everyone who has asked the last couple of years to know that we are offering cross jewelry this year; Lisa has a new set with earrings, too. For the necklace shown, I used a heavy gauge wire, balled on the ends, which were then hammered and hole-punched where Jesus was nailed to the cross. The cord is called Tenara™: if you scroll down the blog to the Country Girl necklace there is a description of this strong thread that’s found another home in the jewelry industry. We really like the casual and delicate feel of this slender string; in this necklace the color is brown (apologies for a lousy photo). I first put the pendant on a 1mm, black leather cord, but it overpowered the cross. I love the solution of the Tenara™ which to me is symbolic for this piece: the thread looks as vulnerable as Jesus did when he was dying, but is actually very strong. Its strength won’t last as long as His, but for our purposes it certainly has a better chance of that than the leather! See you at the Christmas Bazaar (see previous post)!
