fourtune cookie, estrogen and coffee molecule necklaces.

[spoonymog]

Heres some necklaces I made for gifts:

Estrogen and Coffee molecule (gold and sterling silver beads):



Fourtune cookies (made with fimo, painted gold)



Sorry about the *scanned* pictures, need a new camera.

I've seen the caffeine molecule pendants before, cast in silver, but I like your beaded one better. It has more intricacy & texture.

[Orrkid]

I'd love to make a molecule necklace! Can you give some details on how you made it? I've not quite puzzled it out yet. Yours looks fantastic!

Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you and thank-you , the molecules are inspired from the cast ones, but they were very expensive.... and I had previously bought a coffee cup from the same company with bad results...and I wanted more detail, like the double joints.

Yes, the fortune cookies slide. I was inspired by a metal necklace that is on uncommongoods.com, but was too expensive to buy ;_; .

I'll try do explain as easy as posible but I am not sure I can:
I made them with quill (? tube ?) beads, various metal round beads and used 26 gauge beading wire. I used the wire to make the basic shape and on the double tube I went through the hole twice with the wire, I used clamp beads in some places to hold the bead on. I would have liked to use a thicker gauge of wire because its less prone to snapping but I would have limited the beads I could have used with anything thincker. You have to be very gentle while bending because of this.

What are the fortunes made out of, fimo or real metal?


All of the necklaces are adorable, btw!

[poppycock!!]

Ah deadly I can imagine using the estrogen one as a subtle sign post to warn friends and boyfreind of PMT.

Thank-you, they are made of fimo.

yeah, that would be a good one. I actually made it for my girlfreind as an alternative to a "female" symbol.

The estrogen and coffee molecule ones are great! And I love the little fortune cookies too.

This is giving me ideas for gifts to fellow biology majors the colors and shapes work so well on all three of these. Very clever and fun!

[guitar*girl]

haha the fortune cookies are GREAT!

I love the caffeine molecule!  There is a strange beauty in chemistry.  I'm not very good at chem (not a good thing in a bio major, uh-oh), but I still appreciate the complex beauty.

[lee-lee ess.]

I love anything chemistry, sooo.. I love these!  Is that even double bonds I see, or am I just imagining that???  Also, very cute fortune cookie necklace, I love that the cookie slides over like that (of course, if I had something like that, I'd constantly be playing with it and doing nothing else, lol)

[spoonymog]

Thanks to all above, I am glad there are others who like them; that means the persons I am giving them to may too!

Actually I am giving one to a bio-chem major. I hope she likes it. But since its right after finals maybe shes sick of molecules... >_<

Thanks, yes those sure are double bonds. The ones that I was inspired by left out the dbl bonds and so thats why I made my own, because the double bonds are important I think.

Both are very cool!

I believe your's are the first I've seen with double bonds (which are indeed very important)!  It adds an extra bit of geekiness I do believe.
