Waxed Irish Linen Hop ~Reveal

I'd like to apologise for the delay in posting. I misplaced my camera,( thought I had left it @ my sister's, an hour away!) Crisis averted & here are my pieces.
 I would imagine many of you are fans of Rebecca Anderson. I love her work w/ waxed Irish linen, she is my inspiration, she is also the source of all my waxed linen! If you don't know about her curiosity club you are missing out.
These are a WIP,  I haven't decided about this particular coin,s I have used sand cast glass,Czech,Turquoise, & Carnelian beads in these, stayed tuned for updates. 

I recently made a bracelet for another hop, & it inspired me to work on a series. This is one of the resulting pieces. Yes, you do see some inclusions of art beads. Diane Hawkey, Golem Studios, & an unidentified ceramic,( I need to do a little research) plus some bone,horn,stone,Turquoise,Czech & glass beads. I can take no credit for the clasp, it came from a boot camp on Love My Art Jewelry. I'll confess,while I love the look of a looped closure w/ waxed linen, they give me fits. This clasp was my 'a ha' moment, when I realized this was a way around the loop w/o a sacrificing any style.
I hope it isn't 'cheating' to show this necklace. This is one of my BSBH8 pieces,but I made it knowing I wanted to show it for this hop as well. I've also worked on the small beads, letting them twist the way they wanted to from the beginning. Besides, this wrap work is too nice not to share twice!
 Here is my looped effort. More art bead treasures,(mostly unknown) an enameled bead from Andrew Thornton, bone, stone,recycled & sand cast glass beads make this light hearted bracelet.
A last look @ the wire wrapping.

Thank you so much to our hostess Diana Ptaszynski.. This hop was the jump start I needed to get some work done. I plan on a few more pieces, you might want to check back in the next week or so?
here are the other knotters, thanks for stopping by, enjoy the hop & your holiday weekend.

    I like the earrings. And that first bracelet is my favorite, although your other bracelet and necklace are pretty, too. I like the design of the first bracelet. Very nice job.

    Hi Jayne, You chose an interesting mix for the fringe on the earrings. I like the bead mix in the first bracelet. The necklace is beautiful and the twisted strands in the center draw the eyes to the lovely wire wrapped focal. My favorite piece is the second bracelet. The light colors make it feel feminine and summery.

      choices were dictated by size as much as anything else!

    Wow, you've been busy! I especially like your bracelets. The knots add the perfect touch of color between the beads--so much more interesting than regular beading wire.

    Your wire wrapped pendants used with the waxed linen are pretty. I like how you paired the beads, linen and wire.
