Dichro for eBay & spares :^)

More etching, layered colours & some I'm doing in traditional (sort of) patchwork patterns.
Haven't quite decided which ones to list yet - I'm too tired to think at the moment :^)
It will be a surprise on Sunday - for me too...LOL.

WEEK 34

Not the greatest photos in the world (sorry 'bout that), but other than "S" clasps and coiled wire ends for leather necklaces - this is the only wire work I have done this week.
The first one - a hand-drawn, etched pendant on a removable bail.
The other one is a gift. It's a key ring etched with a bind-rune - his own initials and is a personal talisman.
I had a ripper piece I was doing for this week, but the heads up on argentium silver - it does NOT like the kiln!!! Mega-disaster! Looks like I will definitely have to stick with fine silver.

more for eBay

some more etching and heaps of colour!!!

WEEK 33

Wow - what a week this has been! Not one to repeat in a hurry, that's for sure!!
Still having stupid computer issues.
Plus, our work van has packed it in. At least it had the decency to die with great dignity in our own driveway, not in the middle of nowhere (from whence it had just come)...lol.
So in between trying to organize another vehicle and all the running around that involves, I have done very little again this week.
I managed to get some glass done for eBay and not a great deal more.
Two quick pairs of earrings is my offering for this week.
8mm faceted blue goldstone, 6, 5, & 4mm crystal AB swaros and sterling silver.
Simple and sparkly - these are to add to stock for a home party I have coming up.
But on a brighter note - most of my argentium has arrived - so definitely going to try and get some torch time this week!!!

this week for eBay...

WEEK 32

Not even nearly on theme this week!! I had what I thought was a fairly great idea for this week, and have been waiting on some Argentium to arrive so I could get the torch fired up & have a play...needless to say - it didn't arrive :^(
This little ring matches my week 26 bangle. A fair bit of 26 gauge sterling wire & baby 3mm bermuda blue swaros.
It was an easy piece to make and I think I will make a few more for myself in different colours.

More for eBay

Eight more for eBay this week - mostly as different as chalk is to cheese!
A few of these have hand-painted platinum on them - which I really like!
But I think my favourite this week is the lemon/lime one - which is really weird coz normally I can't stand those colours!!! For some reason though - I liked making this one and I love how it fired up :^)

WEEK 31 - VOLCANIC

I'm actually on theme again this week :^)
I had absolutely no idea where to go with this week's theme & then I remembered some glass I did ages ago that I had made into a necklace I really didn't like - 'twas a bit too tizzy!
So, I pulled it to bits, simplified everything, and here you have it.
To me it is perfect for "volcanic" - like hot lava flowing into the sea.
I was going to LOS this, but have decided to leave it shiny for now. I'm not too sure whether this is a keeper or if it'll go on eBay with my other glass. If I keep it - I'll definitely hit it with the LOS.

Pendants for eBay

I have eight pendants done this week - not too sure if I'll list them all yet or not.
I have also decided not to glue the bails on until they are sold, that way if anyone just wants cabs, it's not a problem :^)

Two that are the colours of a peacock feather.

Two that have hand-painted gold.

Two that are like impressionist water colours.

And two that have copper inclusions. One a multi-colour combo & the other almost monochromatic.
