Switching Gears, or Mediums

I love working with silver metal clay.  But, I also love working with polymer clay.  I've been neglecting the polymer lately, so I decided it was time to switch gears and make something different besides jewelry.  I love to make boxes.  Here's two that I just finished.  A turtle box and a dolphin cameo box.



Have a great day!

Female Pirate Necklace

I got so involved with the pirate theme creating the men's pirate pendant I posted about yesterday that I was inspired to create a female pirate pendant.  I've had a blast playing with swords, stones, and gold!  This pendant has a heart lined in gold that matches the pirate's eye.  The heart stone sits atop two swords that are flanked by three graduating sized round balls.  The entire piece is backed by a heart shaped base.  I also made a handmade bail that was torch fired in place on the pendant.  Love the look and the security of these bails.  A little time consuming to make, but worth the effort.



Thanks for stopping by, your comments are always welcomed and appreciated.  Have a great day!

A Gold and Silver Pirate Pendant

Here's a photo of my latest custom order I that I just finished.  I usually get unique requests from men for some reason.  This one wanted a pirate necklace.  The pendant is complete, although I still have to hang it.  And this was my first time working with gold!  Quite an experience.  I hope to do more.

Have a great day!

Yikes!  It dawned on me that I forgot to post the finished photo of the triple dolphin necklace.  Here it is...

Have a great day!

The Dolphins are Fired!

I fired the large dolphin pendant.  There is so much more to do to it though.  It will have to wait though because I have a two day art show that starts tomorrow. I'll be at Cadeax Caches in Fairhope, Alabama Friday and Saturday from 10:00 to 6:00.  Stop by and visit if you're in the area.

Here's a peek into the kiln...

Have a great weekend!

Back to Playing with Dolphins

I'm back to playing with dolphins again.  This time, I'm working on a complex piece that I've had hanging around for a while.  It's one that I just work on every now and then between other projects. 

Have a great day!

The Completed Horse Head

I completed the horse head pendant that I showed in my previous post.  Here are a couple of photos showing it before firing and after firing:

Have a great day!
