Busy Busy.....

Now that I've finished adding my latest creations to my Etsy store it's time for a break. I need to go food shopping, then perhaps I'll vege in front of the telly for a while, and think about what to snack on for dinner, since I've only just had lunch.

Ciao for now!

New Creation *Autumn Leaves*


After firing and finishing this piece I decided a patina to highlight the leaves was in order, then a bit of a polish of the leaves to bring them to a high shine. I think it's a nice contrast the matte silver surrounds.

I've decided I really like this one and don't want to sell it. But alas it is not mine and I'm sure there is a person out there who it would be perfect for.

COMING SOON * Etsy Store

Hi peeps,

Over the next week I will be listing items for sale in my etsy store.

This weekend it is my mission to do a "photoshoot" - perhaps this should be referred to as an "iShoot" as my iphone camera copes better with close up shots than my real camera. I'll then commence "stocking" the store with goodies for purchase :-)

I'll let you know once there is something to look at!

Ciao for now :-P

New Creation * Pik me! Pik me! *


Check out the li'l fellas all in a row :-)
This one could be worn as a choker on a piece of ribbon
or worn lower on a long chain.

New Creation ** Triangulation **




 I'm thinking about brushing some liver of sulfur in the indentations
to bring out the detail a little more and then giving it a good buff to shine it up.

New Creation ** Squarey Square **


I like the brushed finish on this one.
I used course sandpaper before and after firing to give it the soft lines.
I will give it another going over with sandpaper to smooth
out the rough spots.

New Creation ** Flutterby **



Purdy butterfly. This one has a flower stamped onto it then the
butterfly shape was cut out, and to finish off a wee ball of
fine silver placed at the center of the flower.
I'd like to hang this one on a chain by the wings.

New Creation ** Swirly Star **


I like the roughness to this piece it contrasts nicely with the swirly perfection.
Wear it high on a piece of leather cord.


Messy Workshop and Prometheus in Bake Mode

I made some pendants over the weekend, finished them yesterday so tonight was firing night.

Here's a pic of Promey cooking up a storm and the organised ciaos on my bench.
