I reread the first blog post and thought about what I wrote... ugh, I actually stated that I didn't go into my workroom sometimes for a week... That is the truth... and then there are times that I don't emerge from the den for a week.
This week has been one of those weeks...
I didn't emerge for much the past few days other than to make food or help my son study, he is taking the college entrance exams next month... I had to throw that in there, I am so proud of him. He's 12. I had to throw that in there because I am extra proud of him for being a genius... all to do with his father I am sure.
Anyway, I finished a bunch of pieces off, organized my bench, messed it up again, made a few components, made a few beaded pieces, manufactured some buckles for Martingale collars, worked on artwork for some pieces to be etched, and did an amazing job of being in love with my little workspace.
I say that is a week in itself and it is only Wednesday!
This is one of the bracelets that I made, it is a cuff made from brass, etched and cut and shaped. I like this pattern, it is a Celtic knot and some other stuff... hope you like it!
I have three other pieces that I have made this week so far that are textured, I'll put up pictures as I can. I am having a hard time with this camera. not good close ups, I think something broke inside it when I dropped it last time. When it auto focuses it makes an odd clicking noise.
So, I decided to do a little bit more for the project... here's my bracelet that is made of brass, copper and silver, with Swarovski
crystals
These are brass earrings, etched, cut out, and domed with a patina.
Then there is this one... just a fun bracelet for a friend. I cut out the skull and heart, punched the little circle and used a stamp on it... then added a couple of charms to the bracelet... I like it..arrrrr.

I've really got into using my jewellery saw and learning more about texture. It allows so much more freedom to express ideas. Love your charms and especially the little skullies.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I enjoy sawing more than I thought I would, it is kind of calming. Thanks about the skulls, I love them! I don't know if you can actually see the texture or not, I used just plain paper to make it a satin finish almost.
