I sold quite a few of my new pieces over the weekend but I am slowly getting the rest into my etsy shop. I did a big photo shoot yesterday and I'm working on them today. Here are some. I will add more as I work on them. If you are interested in purchasing any just click on the image and it will take you to my shop. This one is a silver turn key piece thing that I wire wrapped and stacked sparkly beads inside so that it catches the light once in a while. A swarovski sticks out the top. I love mixing up delicate and tough.
This one was quite complicated to make. After uncovering the many layers of rust and dirt and grime with my dremel I tried to solder the red jeweled piece on but it just wouldn't adhere. I ended up buying new solder and flux and it finally worked. Then I took off all the horrible brass paint on the key (I bought it new) and oxidizing it. I coated the twig in resin, which had to dry for 2 days, and drilled holes in it. They are joined together and a sparkly red swarovski crystal sits on top of the twig. I layered an oxidized silver chain and a brass chain. These earrings go with just about anything...well anything that brass goes with...you get the idea.
Another twig I set in resin and drilled holes in. I dyed bamboo crochet yarn in red Rooibos tea and then strung and knotted turquoise beads on it.
