Adventures in Geometry

 Hi! So - in just a few short weeks, I went from this
(aluminum matte cheap material and basic chain):
 
 
To THIS! Geometric dangly and detailed
Silverplate with beading:
 
 
I love working with better materials. Who wouldn't? The silverplate is more expensive but not much more. I also love working with different types of shapes and details. This one I can see selling. The others - not so much. I want to incorporate gold now - goldplate or gold filled. Filled is better as it is a thicker layer over brass or silver. I will be getting with Mom (who creates and sells jewelry) to get some more materials. The thing is, I need to get some money first to purchase. I am thinking about $200 will get me enough to make a nice set of necklace, earrings, and bracelet.
 
Other news: life is happening as always. =D
