Personalised Pendant Finished!

kiki — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 17:02:48 +0000

I was commissioned to make another photo pendant. (take a look at my other design) I created a cloud shaped silver pendant with different size circles, the largest was for the photo placement and the other 3 I filled with coloured cold glaze. For the cord again I used waxed cotton and African trade glass beads.

I have added this one in my shop as an example for custom made ordering.

Below are 2 new silver rings.

Rough Cut Garnet

kiki — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 16:40:13 +0000

I bought this cabochon a few months ago when I visited a shop that sells rough cut stones and minerals. this one turned out to be a ring, I have another one in bright pink, that will become a nice pendant.

The name of the stone is Almandine Garnet. This ring is up for sale in my Dawanda shop

Elisa’s Solomon Jewelry

I was very excited today when I found out about Elisa’s work through 18k (big fan). Her jewelry made me smile, they have a playful character, shapes are small and delicate. She uses silver and gold for metal, and the most amazing old beads and gemstone chunks. The following are my favourite pieces from her collection.

Love the hippie vibe her designs have! Find her entire collection and online shop here www.elisasolomon.com

New Necklaces

It’s been busy the last couple of weeks and so I didn’t have the chance to upload anything new.
This post is about the two necklaces I was commissioned to make, I am thrilled that the necklaces were a success.
The 1st features a lotus flower (the design is from my little logo as you can see on the top left) that’s hanging from a delicate chain adorned with tiny gemstone beads.

The one below represents the 3rd eye and it’s adorned with agate round beads.

Cute ear studs / Μικρα & χαριτωμενα σκουλαρικια

kiki — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 14:51:17 +0000

Recently finished these pair of ear studs, I got these two cabochons for a customer that just had bought my ‘button ring‘ and wanted the same stone for earrings. Unfortunately she wanted even smaller cabs, so these are going in my shop.

Also I had the chance yesterday to photograph 2 more pieces, I was experimenting trying to take pictures of me wearing jewelery. Very frustrating, my camera thankfully coped OK.

This a necklace I have made last summer, using disc beads from bone (recycled from an old piece of jewelery), jasper round beads and Boca de Negro Seed beads (black beans). The clasp is handmade and from silver.

Love it for summer!

Streamlined Silver Earrings

kiki — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 14:01:10 +0000

Just finished these extremely lightweight set of earrings. Again I worked with pieces of silver wire, which i soldered together to make this leaf shape.

You can find the earrings for sale in my Dawanda shop.

In this post I will also include photos which I took during the making of these earrings.

Shaped the wire, did appropriate filling and I am ready to solder. You can also see my sketchbook

After soldering the wires, I file any excess solder

My bench at the end of a project... I 'd better clean the mess

And the final product

Watercolour Sunday

kiki — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 11:03:46 +0000

This Sunday I visited my parent’s, stayed there all day and had my water colours with me. I thought I would be a great opportunity for me to relax, do nothing and just paint. I haven’t touched my watercolours for at least 4 years. I really enjoyed it, I even thought to attend a few classes after the summer.

Την Κυριακη που μας περασε, επισκευτηκα τους γονεις, ηταν μια μερα απολυτης ξαπλας για μενα, δεν ηθελα να κανω τιποτα εκτος απο το να ζωγραφισω, ετσι πηρα μαζι μου νερομπογιες και πινελα, τα οποια ειχα να χρησιμοποιησω πανω απο 4 χρονια. Το χαρηκα απιστευτα, θυμηθηκα ποσο μου αρεσει να ζωγραφιζω με πινελα, ισως μετα το καλοκαιρι να βρω σε κανενα δημο μαθηματα, που σιγουρα θα με βοηθησουν με την τεχνικη.

Another silver leaf with bezeled gem

kiki — Fri, 28 May 2010 19:47:34 +0000

Today I finished this pendant, it is the 2nd one from a series that I will attempt to design & fabricate. The 1st was this one, as you can see the concept is the same but I tried a couple different ideas. Although I like the black silver, and I think it makes the leaf stand out more, people expect silver to look like silver(meaning silver colour) and so I kept away from liver of sulphur.

I used these beautiful green glass round beads.

I definitely will try a few different photos, cause I am not happy with these ones.

Σημερα το τελειωσα και ειμαι αρκετα ευχαριστημενη με το αποτελεσμα, απλα οι φωτογραφιες με δυσκολεψαν, θα ξαναπροσπαθησω και αυριο αν βρω τον χρονο. Το φυλλο ειναι απο ασημενιο συρμα και πανω του καθεται μια φεγγαροπετρα δεμενη με καστονι. Οι πρασινες αυτες χαντρες ειναι γυαλινες. Συντομα θα μπει και στο eshop στην Dawanda
