October Range

Above and Below

These are the new enamel painted
leaves I have been working on
Their base is
sterling silver
which will emerge further with wear...

Summer-y sun-set goodness
I think I've just got my fingers crossed
about the weather finally changing

And a couple more pieces...

Peacock and Sunset Pendants...

New Work finally....

Have been playing around with some AMAZING wax that Raymond de Zwart from Black Finch (www.blackfinch.com.au and blackfinchjewellery.blogspot.com) put me on to which I got from Barnes in Richmond (Swan St, across from the Richmond railway station). It is really flexible, soft, sticky some times and FUN!!

I made these pieces last Thursday

picked them up from the casters on Monday

and ran to the studio to get to work on them

they make me so HAPPY

I busted into one of my studio-mates tin of enamel paints

went a bit crazy with the colours...thanks Elise IOU XX

But I'm thinking divine peacock

(perhaps the ones from school a few years ago NMIT?)

Shimmery summer light

which is really old powder paint from a family we hung out with way back when we were little in Daylesford and hanging in Glenlyon

oh....the country life

the ones (below) are'plain-jane' sterling silver

oxidized and rubbed back

as is this necklace, but

gentle leafy,

fluttery lightness all the same

I'll do some filing baby !)

Three new rings
Sterling silver with a nice smooth textured finish
They are manly...
not like the beach...

but the hairy chested type
which is bad, cause I test drove them and
I don't have hairy chest

Simon & Jemila

Oh, my goodness, I can't believe its mid October already....argh! Last post in July...what...here's some new snaps to prove I have been doing something....will get back in the saddle real soon xx

Some new old

Here, finally, is some new work...

a little birdie has been in my ear about taking photos, which I love to do, but time/effort and all those things we all know so well get in the way

its called resistance, and I am the Queen of it!

But I have made some 'one-off' rings and earrings and want to show them off...

They are all sterling silver and have been oxidized and the ones with colour have been spray painted with enamel paint- spunky orange this time round

Some 'embossed' detail on the earrings below

An organic piece was used in casting this ring, found on a walk one day

This one is MINE

got the pattern by rolling the wax on the lace in the shirt I had on that day

And here are all the little babies...
