Mixed Metal Jewellery

I've neglected my blog over the last month just havn't had time.  I have been adding new items of jewellery to our wowthankyou shop as it only had 5 on there so i thought it about time to put more on and see what happens! will let you know on that.

Today i did manage to make 3 items of jewellery a celtic knot necklace mixed metal

, mixed metal hammered copper and silver "i wish" dandelion stamped pendant and my favourite although i probably would not wear them myself but i like look of them is some vintaj brass dove bird stamped with an olive branch and i added rustic border and riveted a stacked flower onto the bottom.  Kind of quaint and whimsical look .

So my plans for next month are to teach myself to tube rivet, possibly made a stacked riveted and stamped ring and soldering!!! i have the torch hee hee.  My sister does all this already but hasn't got time to show me at present so i am you tubing and googling it all. 

Will show you all my efforts soon - promise.

My next plan is some mixed metal jewellery and earrings using metal design stamps too and oxidised pieces.

Ta ra for now.

NEW YEAR NEW PROJECTS



New Year and new projects are going through my mind.  I think i am addicted to new projects.  This is a copper cuff ring i made last night with some 20 gauge copper sheet metal and a hammer and liver of sulphur to oxidise metal.  Gives the effect of a bark ring.  I think it looks different.  May try this out in sterling silver too. 

I've got some dapping tools dome block and new metal stamps lots of ideas, its sometimes knowing where to start as there is so much i wish to do. 

I feel like a need a gap year to get it all done.  So, i am planning some cuff rings in sterling silver and copper with stamped designs on next and one of my next projects will be to make some big hammered sterling silver hoop earrings or copper depending on what i have to hand at home.

I LOVE NEW IDEAS

SOPHIE customised necklace

Hi,

Beautiful sunny day today, have my washing on the line as i type.

My sister has kindly made this necklace a beautiful customized sterling silver lightly hammered tag necklace for anyone called Sophie. I have one with my son and daughters name on that she made me. That has 2 tags my son on bottom bigger circle and my daughter's name on the top one with a little puffy sterling silver heart in front.

My sister is s silversmith and is saving up for a tumble polisher machine so she can make more personalised silver or copper or mixed metal projects with a quicker turnaround as she is currently has to take items to her college to get polished.

Patience, patience, patience.

Ta ra for today

Turquoise howlite woven pendant

New to my folksy shop at £14.00 a very pretty feminine vibrant turquoise howlite gemstone pendant.

I have woven this pendant with 4mm turquoise howlite beads and used silver delica beads in between to create this open circle gemstone pendant and hung on an 18" sterling silver chain.

I love turquoise and silver for summer it goes with everything. This pendant is about 1" in diameter so dainty and wearable for everyday.
