More in the series

Using a simple 'fold' as a design element forges on!

The first piece is a success I think, in terms of the fold and the overall design, however the keumo-bo piece lacks pizzazz. I like the contrast between the bright silver on the fold and the oxidized part, but the overall piece is missing something. While originally planned as a pendant, it will now become one of several links for a bracelet. Repeating the element might interject some 'wow' .

and for fun, here is the holes piece after it was tumbled for a couple of hours. Its so shiney that it was hard to get a decent photo of it!

First in what may be a series

I've contemplated doing a series before but have never followed through. I think though that this may be something that I play with in a 'series' sort of fashion. This is a super quick project with lots of possible variations.

This pendant is 20 ga sterling with a TINY 14k gold ball on the side. A section of sterling tubing completes the piece on the back for a bail.

I already have another one in progress, but its VERY different. The next one will go back to being more like this but with smaller variations.

After a long absence...

After a long absence from creating, I finally got back to the bench and have made a few things over the past couple of weeks. First is a pendant that is STILL in progress even though it began almost 4 weeks ago - the pic is prior to setting the stone and prior to LOS and finishing.

(Please click on the pictures, they look pixelated until you do!!)

Next is a ring, and maybe you'll see a pattern developing:


The ring is garnet and sterling





then a pendant of 24k gold and sterling





And then to round it off a pair of earrings - lapis and sterling




I have been greatly inspired by my friend Barrie - you can see her "Sticks and Stones" rings here
