Home Made.

 

One of the first rings made in the jewellary workshop. 

A five stacked textured silver ring (two were whitened by repetitively annealing and pickling, another two wee oxidized in oxidizing solution, the other was left silver ), textured with fine and course files and laced together with drill holes and cotton string. The hinge at the knucle is secured with a join so that the two rings sit nicely on the upper finger.

The necklace is made from fossilized sharks teeth (ten for $1 at the crystal shop), wrapped in fine wire and put on chain.

I miss having a studio! Will have to try and get one in New York.

Post Card

A little selection of drawings I did for postcards to loved ones.

Themes included woodland creatures, skeletons and a car, because Dad loves cars.

The Vamoose

The Vamoose (from the U.K) make such lovely jewelery, all preppy and pastel and flowers and chunky gold chains. It makes me want to wear less black and more beigey cream, but more likely just lighter coloured accessories. I love the use of different materials and the bold and crafty nature of their pieces. Oh, and of course the crystals. Love crystals.
