I had chemo this week, so have felt rough and very out of sorts. No new artwork was created, other than a bit of knitting so I've decided to show you some of my other pieces made recently.
A pair of earrings made in PMC and finished with beautiful grey pearls, a gift from a lovely friend. The texture is my own, also created specifically for my fine silver work. I now am the proud owner of a kiln, so will be making more of these pieces as time progresses . . . I've been working with PMC for about 5 years now and have a creative diploma in it. I love the way it is so malleable, and is so striking even with a minimal amount of preparation. Of course, I'm never happy with anything less than lots of finishing . . .
One of the courses I attended last year was with Robert Dancik who is the creator of FauxBone™ a rather interesting plastic substance that will put up with just about anything you can throw at it! This is one of my last pieces, based on a steam punk theme. Lots of layers, cold connections and interest.
And finally, one of my Rivet Bracelets. Made in Sterling Silver, knotted together with waxed cotton and embellished with copper rivets and random texture. These guys are about 5 x 10 cm in length and are lovely and weighty. I've made several of them now, and they've all gone down really well. :)
I did manage to go out for a short walk yesterday in the moonlight. She was full and beautiful, and I really hope that I absorbed a bit of energy from Her ~ goodness, I could really do with it . . .
