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!

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

To seal the photo in place I used cold glaze. Also I used waxed cord, a few macrame knots and blue glass beads to add to the playful character of this pendant.

Εγινε κιολας ενος ετους ο μικρουλης Αχιλλεας! Το δωρο μου στην πολυ καλη φιλη μου και μαμα του ειναι αυτο κρεμαστο λαιμου, με την φωτογραφια του.

Για να σφραγισω την φωτογραφια χρησιμοποιησα υγρο γυαλι, ειναι ενα υλικο που μοιαζει στην λειτουργια του πολυ με την εποξικη κολα. Λογω καλοκαιριου που ερχεται  ειπε να το κανω πιο αναλαφρο και παιχνιδιαρικο. Ετσι χρησιμοποιησα κοκκινο κερωμενο κορδονι, οπου σε ορισμενα σημεια εκανα μακραμε κομπους και τοποθετησα γυαλινες χαντρες με εντονο μπλε χρωμα. Το μεταλλο που χρησιμοποιησα ειναι ασημι 950.

A coral fossil cabochon set on a silver pendant, which is  soldered to a ball chain and handmade clasp.

The whole piece has been oxidised and then buffed to reveal certain areas. It has also an interesting rear.

At first I thought about making a ring with it, but quickly changed my mind, as I have made a few rings lately and wanted sth else.
I took my sketchbook and was trying to draw interesting shapes around the stone. I went with this one, I had a hard time soldering the little pieces I wanted, and ended up just having an arrow and a circle.

I think I will keep this one for me.

And this is me wearing it, I didn’t have a model this time (or a photographer) -I did my best!

He comes out, making short appearances, just to dissappear again behind the heavy rainy clouds. Today his stay was a bit longer, and I invited my brother’s wife to help me  model some of my jewellery. We only caught the last light of the day. The photo shoot was totally unorganized from my part, and so I am posting only 4 photos.

First a yellow quartz cab made into a ring

This lovely pink amethyst round cabochon, also used for making a ring.

Ring again, different stone – Moonstone round cabochon. Wear it by itself or with an extra silver band

Turquoise cab adorns a silver bezel, made into a pendant.
