Day 65

Here is a little peek into the making of day 65's piece, an oxidised silver pendant with a single pearl. I tried not to get too much of my very messy workspace in the photos!  This design is indulging my love of ornate silhouettes and giving it a contemporary twist.

Day 55

Day 55's piece is this flower brooch pin. I made this using a page from an old book, coloured tissue paper and oxidised silver.

Day 52

Some small studs on a botanical theme...snowdrops!

Day 51

Some small stud earrings for day 51, made out of silver and then oxidised.

Day 44

Today I've made some hoop earrings. They're a bit of  a different style to what I've done previously, but then that is what this blog is supposed to be all about!
I made these out of silver sheet and wire, and then oxidised them to give the silver a black finish.
I do like this kind of hoop earring and think I'll try and explore this idea further in the future, something to match day 30's bangle perhaps.

Day 39

Today's wearable item is a small pendant with a botanical theme. It's made from sterling silver. I oxidised the dome to give some depth to the cut out foreground piece.

Day 19

And another ring,  with the same theme of the simple black drawing on white.
These rings are taking on a life of their own, each one larger than the last, and the drawing more elaborate.

Day 18

Another ring for the new collection.

I'm really drawn to  irregular shapes when I'm designing these rings,  as though the plastic 'gem' is a fragment of something discovered, and I love the simplicity and stark contrast of the black and white.

Day 14

I'm loving this shrinking plastic! I bought a pack of it about a year ago and have only just got round to experimenting with it thanks to my make a piece a day challenge.

For today's piece I've drawn an ornate vintage pattern onto an irregular shape and set it as a 'gem' in a silver ring which has been oxidised.

Day 10

I thought it was about time for a splash of colour, I used oxidised silver and red silk thread to make this bracelet.
