I started this blog with the purpose of showcasing my DIY, especially my jewellery. But looking back on my posts, I haven't been blogging much about it. It just how life turns out, I guess.
With the bead soup reveal day approaching, I've been spending more time on jewellery blogs and as a result, I've been focusing on my work more as well.
This post is a collage of my jewellery from my early pieces that are at least 3 years old to my current work.
I tried to put together photos that represent my standard body of work, the colours I like to work with and the techniques I employ most often.
Clearly, I use a lot of blues and purples, but some reds and earth tones as well.
I like to work with crystal and glass and semi precious stones. Turquoise is my absolute favourite :-)
Gorgeous pieces. I love the turquoise too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so vibrant paired with the red.
You have a very nice sense of color and form! Those are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThey are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNice work. I especially the pieces with purple.
ReplyDeleteThe 7th picture down is my favourite piece but prefer it with gold coloured balls.Ida
ReplyDeletebead addict: thanks, it's my favourite combo, the red coral and turquoise.
ReplyDeletedeja pseu: Thanks! Your comment gave me a lot to think about in particular why some pieces work and others don't in relation to form in particular.
Ms. M: Thanks :-)
Susan: Those are amethyst chips and Italian glass, but not Murano. Purple is a very elusive colour and interesting to work with. It has strong character.
Ida: That's so funny, I think I made another similar necklace with gold beads. I think I gave it away as a present.
I like your first necklace best!
ReplyDeleteMette: The first photo is a bracelet, but if you're referring to the second photo, I believe this is one of the very first pieces I ever made.
