Day 46

So today I thought I'd try a similar piece to yesterday, but, hmmm... not too sure about this one! It doesn't have the 'Hey Presto' magic of yesterday for me, more 'Piff Paff Poof! It looks like a police chalk line around a body wearing dodgy pajamas!

Ah well, can't win 'em all

Oh, its a brooch pin by the way.

Day 45

More fun with the shrinking plastic....
I have a fabulous book called Breaking Bounds which has a series of stunning photo's of dancers. I've used one of the image silhouettes for this piece and given it a bit of hand drawn pattern magic - hey presto,  a pendant full of movement.

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 43

Teeny tiny fragment ring.

Very different from my original plastic ring, this is tiny. The plastic gem has been riveted to the ring shank.

Day 42

A new design using shrinking plastic for day 42. I've set the hand drawn  plastic gem against a silver background this time, and made this pendant. It has that wonderful found object feel to it, and I love the way the silver reflects the light back out through the plastic at you.
