In between things I have been wandering over to the workshop to test a few ideas about pebble jewellery, and prepare some commissions.
These large pendants are working out well.
And I think these earrings might be OK.
I am not sure what the collective noun for a bunch of pebble pendants might be, but here it feels like a dangle! Quite a bit of variety amongst this little lot.
I am also thinking about packaging. I am almost out of my earring boxes and have to come up with a solution so I am trying a few things out.
Here are a three different types of earrings, and I am liking the notion of the luggage tag. Thinking that if it was inside a pouch of some sort, then you could use the string to pull it out. The card would need some heft, and I would need to punch a hole and thread some string, but it is beginning to maybe in the right direction.
And the question now is, should the card be black, or cream or natural???
"Dangle" is a good word for the grouping of necklaces - they do look lovely together. And the luggage tags are a brilliant and unique way to standardize the size and be able to accommodate all sizes nicely.
ReplyDeleteI think a 'dangle' does go close here! Would you believe that when I went to get the suitcase to pack for NZ that I found a whole box of my earring boxes!!! I laughed out loud - I had thought there must be some more, but couldn't for the life of me work out where they might be, hence the explorations. Will work with the existing stash until I need to transfer to the luggage tags, but I am pretty happy with the possibilities they offer.
