copper with patina

I like the natural patina of copper and made some ivy leaf earrings. for sure some more will follow.

 The hooks are made from silver 925, the ivy leaves are oxidized.

I really admire people with perfect manicured hands, mine never will be....

first impressions

Studio news!

At the moment I totally enjoy to create artwork for my brand new art shop on Etsy!

ok, it will be my brand new art shop in September 2014! (opening date: 1. September)

 Two unfinished objects  - additional working steps needed!

I have done those "silver pictures" since many years from time to time, and I also love to create jewelry, using similar techniques, but now I decided to offer some of these miniatures here in a separate shop, cause it would not fit my beadwork.
The idea of offering a limited edition of  "wall silver" (Wandsilber ! ) here on etsy is something I ´ve thought about for some time, but now the time has come to give it a try ....

Brooch #13

Raw

Playing around with copper 

I have to order new oxidizer, mine is used up, so I couldn´t bring out the surface as spectacular as I intended...maybe some pics later, when I show some more copper projects.

Brooch a week/12
The half lentil shape is an inexhaustible source for creating jewelry...
It is an archaic form,  protective shield, .. vessel,....

 Challenging work for the BAW Challenge!

Quite a long time ago I soldered a brooch needle,  satisfying  result.
