Jewellery this way and that

 Barry and I are headed back to Scotland soonish, and will be having a Pop Up Show at the Armadale Village Hall, a bit like we did last year.

In preparation I have been making new work, some of which continues my passion for sterling silver pebble jewellery. I am refreshing some styles, and have been thinking about and making some new styles. Such fun!

I tried a five pebble linked pendant on sterling silver chain; then a three pebble pendant. Both are lovely and I like the movement.

For whatever reason, I was thinking about beach combing and pebbles and driftwood. This is the result so far. One pair of earrings with a tiny pair of the usual pebble forms and a hand beaten piece of silver 'driftwood'. The second pair is a solid silver pebble with similar hadn't beaten 'driftwood'.

And some nice large earrings.

And another nice new design, This is a scarf pin or maybe simply a brooch. It is large pebble form that has two sterling silver lapel pins soldered underneath to allow it to go through the clothing/scarf and be held really flat and firmly. I think it would look great on a black coat, scarf, jacket, top, jumper... 

And a few more works in progress, playing around with layout so to speak, which forms go with which, and how  many are best?

This one got rejected because all I could see was Mickey or Minnie Mouse.

Here it is again but with slimmer "ears"and I am still not sure.

I really think I will end up doing another five pebble piece instead. Or maybe two of them...

I have had a couple of good days in the workshop cutting, hammering, soldering, cleaning, rolling...all great fun.
