Hi!
I don't have much time for crafting lately, but I'm trying my best to make at least 1 piece a day :)
Still practicing coiling and using spirals and free forms :) Soon will need to buy more wire if I'll be using it in this pace :).
I also tried bit of hammering, not much - just a bit on some of new pieces I made.
Hammered star pendant - small
Free form swirl with aventurine chips
I started this with bracelet/bangle in my mind - finished as pendant with seed bead :)
Coiled stud - lightly hammered, but not cut for proper length yet (made 2 pairs). I saw idea for these studs in one of the books I read. I think they are nice looking alternative for simple studs available in the shops, cause they can be customize :)
Drop added to studs - now earrings need a bit of cut on stud piece plus 'butterflies' to have this pair complete. Possibly the other pair will have drop in green or blue - yeah I'm 'blue addict' - I have to admit it :) but these 2 colours looks good with copper for me.
Great work, I'd love to start doing some wire work one of these days. I have many of the supplies, but no time - dang! Anyhow, isn't it funny how we start a project with a cool design in mind - but, before you know it the work takes on a mind of its' own! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat blog, beautiful work, and so very interesting - thanks for sharing!
