I have really managed a good run at jewellery making in the last wee while, before I spent the week being very quiet and trying to recover from RSV. A very nasty bug. Sometimes things align and you get the chance to use the moments, and sometimes if you are even luckier, the things you try to do in the moments, work out.
A while ago I set out some pieces I had to see what I could make of them. The long thin strips are stone and I love their smoothness and the contrast with the wobbly pebbles. I also liked how they went with some of the beaten jump rings I had.
I had some small textured pebbles which also went well with the textured jump rings.
And then they became earrings.
And some bits became a pendant. I still really like the contrasts between the oxidised pieces, the textured and the silver...
Beautiful results. I also like the contrast of the metal with the stone though it's the marks you're achieving on the petal pieces I find particularly captivating, especially in the second image. Hope you're over the RSV completely now - it's a terrible virus.
