Day 41

Another stag piece made today, this time a necklace. made by hand cutting from sterling silver sheet. Soon to be added to my Etsy shop.

Day 40

Today I made a ring entirely from brass wire,  just by wrapping the wire, and forming using pliers.
 Simple design, but effective.

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 38

A series of buttons for day 38, all made from sterling silver with cold enamel on the back to give them strength.

Day 37

Something completely different for today's wearable piece, a ring made from book pages and a paper clip. Need something to read on the bus? no problem, you're wearing your book ring.

(No nice books were harmed in the making of this ring)

Day 36

.....and I'm back to plastic,
I can't help myself!

Today's piece is a brooch pin made from plastic and sterling silver. I used an old Victorian brooch design for the drawing, then added a tiny leaf design in sterling silver which acts as a gem and holds the pin to the back.

It has a wonderful ornate feel, but you lose a lot of the detail in the drawing when it shrinks down to this scale, I'll need to think bigger next time.

Day 35

Some little silver Stag stud earrings to go with the brooches. Its the first time I've made these as studs and I'm quite pleased with the way they turned out. I'd always thought the antlers would stick up too far in front of the ear, but I'm glad I gave it a go anyway because they look quite snazzy when you put them on.

Day 34

Today's item is another stag brooch for an order, hand pierced from sterling silver sheet.

Day 33

A 'pieces of my heart' necklace , to go with my rings and earring designs.
This is made from sheet silver, and embellished with patterned wire, and ties at the front to fasten.

Day 32

I had to get back to the business of making pieces that have been ordered today, so no time to experiment this evening. Still, I always enjoy making one of my stag brooches, made by cutting out the shape by hand from sheet silver - tricky round the antlers!
