Added new smaller ones and sticking them on a metal board, shifting them around in various combinations.This month has been all about light work with more paper, cardboard and glue. and more fun and made some more magnets! Added new smaller ones and sticking them on a metal board, shifting them around in various combinations.
These past couple of months have been dense with 'stuff happening' (mostly life), and time has been of essence. I have been drawn to making some quick pieces, relatively less time/tool-consuming and still granting some emotional and spiritual relief. I dragged the recycled paper box next to the bench and looked into it. I plucked out bits of saved carboard, old magazines paper cuttings and strips of random paper and came up with some magnets, or... more Recycled Paper Work! Three big magnets are ready to stick to any metallic surface and hold some things in place.
These earrings had been sitting on my bench 'almost finished but not quite' for some time, they did not need much, a final dipping, that protective coat of sealant and the french earwires. Then there was taking pictures, throwing out a lot of bad ones and finally posting everything online...so, proud to announce: here they are! I call them the matchsticks because they remind of spent matches and are all from recycled yellow brass, sticks and pieces laying around in the studio.
The come in 2 lengths, some are a warm lemom-yellow finish throughout, some are all black brass, some are bi-color, or dipped. They are just a handful, a limited production of simple pieces. Nothing out of the ordinary, but special simple. It is July and it is Summer, at last... After a scattered Winter, after an indecisive Spring, we are smack in the middle of this year and pushing ahead. The bench has been crowded, new work waiting to be completed and new orders ready to go. This week I took a look at the Slices collection and while the new additions are still a bit hesitant and awaiting the final touches, thought these earrings below could be the perfect match for bright Summer pairings.
The Square Slices Earrings in yellow brass are happily bright and ready to go when you are.
Choose between 2 different sizes and celebrate this Summer in bright colors! Recycling is in progress on the bench: these are the first two pairs of new earrings I am looking forward to add to my Slices collection this Spring.  These are leftover thin sticks bits and pieces from my cutting of squares and circles out of thick yellow brass...
I wasn't quite sure at first if I should let them stand alone as a mini series or whether I should add them to an existing line...well, of course they belong to the Slices collection! They match the colors, and the simple, striking vibe. 4 days away: the jewelry closeout sale is launching next saturday, october 10 at 10 am, mst! here's another preview: small square and round earrings from the black+gold series available in black or vermeil, these little square and round earrings are from the black+gold series, a one of a kind collection of unique pieces in black silver and 18k gold.
