Experimentation

I love trying new things, and while I now work mostly in Metal Clay, I still like to work in wire from time to time.
I recently got hold of the ribbon ring tutorial from Eni Oken, and gave it a go.
I ran out of paper before the tutorial was fully printed, so I tweaked the end.
The sides are woven, and the ends of the wire are spiralled as opposed to being woven...but Im happy with it for a first try.
Woven from Copper, with a Blue Sodalite stone.

I recently got my hands on the latest (or maybe seasonal) copy of step by step wire magazine...
Some of the companies featured in it have amazing stuff - it makes me want to go shopping!
:)
A couple that I really am desperate to buy from now are Silk painting is Fun, a company which stocks the most gorgeously coloured silk strings and ribbons, and My Elements by Yvonne - the first company I've managed to find that sell coloured chain!
I also saw an ad for Shiana, a company i'd heard of but forgotten about, who stock fair-trade items like black silver and flower head pins.
Roll on Christmas!

New Site, Relaunch of some items...

My new site's been up for a little while now, but I hadn't added the prices for items.

Click on the links below the images to visit my Folksy.com site and purchase items!

Two items are now priced and available:

Colours of the Sea Earrings, £27.

Abstract Ring, £17.

I'm aiming to add more items over the New Year Period, especially if all goes to plan and I get hold of a new kiln. :)
