So what do you do as you wait for the inevitable storm and possible flooding? I created jewelry...all day.
Using some of the watch movements and findings I snagged in NYC, I made some new necklaces for the shows coming up in September. For those who like their steampunk with a little bling (and a spider or 2) I designed these 2--
For those who like the heavy metal, industrial look I made this necklace and bracelet--
Last week I managed to find a few hours to make some silver clay pieces and get them fired. They were cleaned and polished and just waiting for me to do something with them.
Jansjems now has a few new pairs of fine silver earrings and
some of our popular pendants many of which I oxidized.
And 3 new larger pieces (I love to make these) that I've hung with gemstone beads. Oxidizing can be hit or miss for me no matter whose recipe I use. This large focal piece picked up some nice color. I added it to a strand of pyrite faceted rectangles.
It's dark and powerful and I think I'll name it Irene.
