Inside Treasure

...and of course there is going to be some continuation of 'Two in One' project which I wrote about last time. When working on the loop earrings, there were little bits left lying around. And that to me means to use it, let my imagination run wild (or not) and enjoy the ride for a little longer...

 

This image says it all. Left-overs, cut bits of the chains, tools and working space.

On the right is something I would call a 'quick fix'. Chains wrapped around one another and attached to earring findings...

It was so quick that it almost asked me for a rethink. So I did...

It is funny how the mind works. Out of my experience, ideas from the past or memories pop up at the right time. This is what happened here.

A year ago, a leaf landed on my neck and I just had to take a shot and put it in my memory (post it on Instagram to remind myself :-).

Therefore, when dealing with the dilemma of the new earrings the leaf came in handy...

From the start, a wire or 'drawing' with wire was on my mind. Also remembering that this is for earrings. soon a few little leafs appeared...

With various parts put in front of me, all that was needed was to put things together. Thinking about two or three part earrings in different combinations, I ended with what you see at the top. The 'Inside Treasure' earrings and the beginning of something else. Pendant? Necklace? Who knows...

Have a great time and see you next time. K-)

'Two in One'

Hello everybody...

I have to admit I have not posted for a few months. Last time, I wrote about a 'Strap for Watch' which I really enjoy wearing. Between then and now, I kept working quietly when I copied an existing design to create another strap for another watch about which I will write next time...

Today, however, I will write about this pair of earrings  that came out as a follow up...

Having used orange and green wires for sampling for my watch strap, I also returned experimenting with few techniques. And what a joy it was...

Viking weave, French knitting with five pegs, French knitting using only two pegs, using different materials, a lot of thinking and allowing myself time to make the project grow on me (the way I like it) and...

I am introducing to you - 'Two in One' loop earrings that I cannot wait to wear and make in different colours if required...

Have a great time. K-)
