I JUST LOVE BEING IN THE STUDIO & MAKING THINGS!

I made this last night for a customer and i must say that the green is really lovely against the silver!

my armbelts are very popular and really fun to make.

on another note, today i received a disc and this beautiful heart bead from tosca teran at hybryd nanopod studios who lives in canada. i sent her some australian pods. i will also be sending some soil from byron and bondi beach!

have a look at the beautiful bead and our little cat sparkle trying to gently touch it...

THE VERONICA EARRINGS

The way some of my work comes about is through making a piece for someone that I know, like for example THE VERONICA EARINGS. I made these specially for my friend Veronica. She was having some surgery and I thought that it would be a nice little surprize.

These enabled me to come up with with my new hoop/hook, which I'm sure it wont be long befor other jewellers will be doing the same as it always happens in my industry...

My daughter and I just got back from Veronica's (& family) house where they were entertaining friends & family. Certainly looked like a fun time was had by all.

etsymetal's march project is underwear

Etsymetal are putting on a project every month where the group will make something according to a theme. For the month of March it was "Underwear". Check out etsymetal.com .

Here is my contribution to the "underwear" theme. I gave myself and hour's time limit for this project. It was alot of fun to do.
Here's some of the process.

WORKS IN PROGRESS

i'll be posting some stuff about what i'm working on at the moment.
Here is the barb of a stingray. I'm in the process of making a handle in silver with gems on it. It will be very ornate and sort of organic, as it should have a sort of regal extraterrestrial feel about it, sort of futuristic. it's about 280mm long and 20mm wide at the widest part. it has these amazing teeny hook
like teeth

Oh My, How Much Do I Love Metal....

Finally, I have a blog! If it wasn't for marshatoh (thank you marsha),i don't think that I would have done this..

Firtsly, I feel a bit clueless when it comes to the web. What I thought I would do is show some of my favorite pieces of jewelry (or jewellery, depending on where you are) and other lovely bits.

here is my messy workspace... but still, I like it.
