....well, not a redo, but an add-on.  I made the frame for this copper bird pendant a little while ago.  Again, I wanted just a wire pendant, no embellishment.  But, it was just too plain for me.  So, I got my seed beads out and wire wrapped them about the body giving this little guy some colour and a little more interest.

I made this particular copper tree of life pendant back in September.  I wanted something plain with no stones....just copper.  But I wasn't happy with the results.  So in keeping with the plain copper theme, I wire wrapped copper lined seed beads along the frame giving it more body.  Now I'm happy.  This one is a keeper....for myself.

"I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently?  And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again." Lewis Carroll
