Not as productive a day at my jewelry bench as some days...a bit under the weather. But I did turn out this little bracelet
#jewelrymaking #crafting #handmade
So I've been making this tonight. It's a new technique for me, and not too bad for a first try. It is supposedly called a flat spiral pattern.

Damascus steel ring with brass liner to celebrate our 12th anniversary.
This one was quite a challenge, since it involved some forging and etching in addition to the usual metal turning to get a nice damascus pattern on the outside of the ring. The liner is made out of an old brass pipe fitting from our house renovation, so it actually was with us for a significant part of our lives.

Yesterday, started playing with beaded necklace making. This bad snapshot is the result of my first attempt, made with lavender and silver seed beads, some spacer beads, four pieces of low quality amethyst and a celtic knot charm.

So I just finished putting closures on the last 20 bracelets, and am getting ready to shape them on a bracelet mandrel, but I thought I'd take a snapshot to show you what I'm doing when not combing the internet for news.

I have now made over 80 bracelets, most of them made in the month of August. Today I made 15. My workshop is in the basement where it never gets over 70 degrees, and I sit there and watch stuff streaming on my old laptop while stringing beads. Wire and beads. Stretch cord and beads...what's next, macrame and beads?
I'll have to pick out some of the nicest made lately to take pictures. Production is too much to share all.
Been making some earrings, too.
Yes, I do more than just read news. Here's some bracelets and earrings I made yesterday

Bad photo of what I've been working on while tracking all the news the last two days: a whole dozen beaded bangle bracelets!
One needs a getaway from time to time. This has become mine lately.

Obsessed with the ephemerality of these glass "bubble" beads and their potential to hold and envelope other beads/objects. What would you fill them with? #JewelryMaking #Beading

Update on the silver flag brooch; not happy with the colour, since it’s a gift it’s got to be perfect so I’m going to do it again. Didn’t want to just melt this down tho so I finished polishing it. Will probably just sell it or give it away or something. #silver #silverjewelry #jewellery #jewelry #JewelryArt #jewelrymaking #scottish #scottishcraft #ScottishCreatives

Making a glass-enameled silver brooch/lapel pin; the enamel I’ve used looks too light/turquoise and I’m thinking opaque would have been better than transparent. It’s unpolished etc, but thoughts please? #jewelry #jewellery #jewelrymaking #jewelrydesign #craft #craftersofmastodon

I mostly relaxed, ate and drank today but I also hammered out some bronze earrings, a little over 4cm long. This style always reminds me of dragonfly wings. #Bronze #Earrings #JewelryMaking #Metalsmith #Handmade

I assembled this some time ago. It's another of my favorites. Lapis lazuli with spacers on gold chain 18".
