Studio Time

Finally, I had some time to steal away to the workshop. I only had a short amount of time...there was no awe inspiring project in mind or plan at all for that matter...only that I wanted to be fiddling with my tools, metal, and wire. You know a few therapeutic moments where a hammer feels really good in your hand.

This pendant is layered...textured brass, copper, and sterling. The layers are riveted together with the spiral. Definitely need some more practice riveting...sometimes the rivets come out perfectly and others, well lets just say...ugh! Could the spiral be the problem?

I love bangles. There was a bangle type project in the newest issue of Belle Aimore that I have been stalking. With that in mind, and cutting the length of wire too long...I came up with these. The base wire should probably be a little heavier, but I love how they turned out and they're great for layering.

Finally, I've been making toggles...scoot on over and check them out in my Etsy shop. I love these. They don't require a whole lot of thought and I have super fun with them!
