work in progress

Normally with jewellery projects come together quickly and there aren't many versions of something, mainly because its easy to tweak things as you are making the final version.

Lately I've been working on some more complex projects and some experimental wire wrapping.

I've got these two lovely work in progress pieces which I hope to finish very soon, I am especially excited about the handformed daffodil that I hope to bring to my shop for Easter.

These little brass teardrops will be in my shop very soon, I made them as teeny as can be so I think they need to be a little bigger.

I am also planning versions in silver and gold fill (and in fact i've had another idea for them whilst I've been writing this - Yay!)

more metalsmithing

I've been soldering at my workbench a lot very recently and I am so pleased to be fine tuning my technique so I can list more and more things.



I really like the contrast that I've made between my often bright and intricate vintage jewellery and the simple, organic shapes of my silver work. I think it makes each part of my shop really stand out.

I love creating the teardrops in particular, they are so pretty and very satisfying to put together.

I have been working with circles and drops so far but I think I'd like to make more geometric shapes too - squares, diamonds. Watch this space!
