Left forefinger – bur cut. Not just any old bur, but the sharpest bur in the box bur. Middle finger – sanding disc cut. Yep the edge of the disc managed to slice open the side of my finger at full speed ahead – which kind of hurt. And it had to be the coarse disc […]
jewelry design
Remember that one time when I said I thought my stuff was too big and I was going to make smaller stuff…
Ain’t happening. Oh well. Back to the drawing board… – – –
Now I’m really boring myself…
I just got nothing. It’s all boring me, so I’m not going to bore you with it. I get out of bed. I shower (big effort). I try to make it past the sofa, and if I do make it, which is touch and go let me tell you… I go into the studio. I have […]
If you can remember, way, way back, before yesterday
I was getting ready to make this. Then my family came. And went. 🙁 I really liked the lightness of this design, but for some reason, which I can’t remember now, I went a different way with it. Now it’s heavy and Victorian looking and only people who like heavy Victorian looking things will perhaps buy […]

I’m going to share with you my latest adventure into jewelry making where I seemed to have fire scaled the living daylights out of an innocent piece of silver… I have to tell you the truth, up until now I hadn’t given much thought to fire scale. I’d heard the word bandied around the jewelry […]

I wanted to show you this one’s progress so I started by looking at my doodles. To get in the mood. Then I found a stone and designed around it. And included a little bit of the left over filigree experiment. I traced the finished shape on some sticky back clear film (which I forgot […]
Well I tried out the filigree thing.
And I’m not sure I like it. Granted, I did it my way. Thick wire, not thin. But, it’s just not my thing. I might make another or I might not. It needs a little more cleaning by the silver ball, and I did enjoy making it, but … –
And now for something completely different …
O.K. Perhaps not that different. Click on the image if you really need to know what’s going on here. Remember, you can never undo what you’ve seen once you’ve seen it. Otherwise scroll down to see what magic is going on in the studio this time. – O.K. So you bought this piece of amethyst a long […]
Nosferatu, Modigliani, and Inspector Gadget.
Often my unconscious world is an explosion of activity, and I wake exhausted. Last night, or I should say this morning as that’s when it seemed all the action was taking place, I was back at university. I had no clothes yet a policeman borrowed one of my bras – a mint green one, (don’t […]
