A mention

Main reason for the post so soon atop the last is to mention a new blog. RaggedRobin has joined us in the world of blogger. Hooray. Looking forward to following her postings.

Love love love her work. 

 Here's a few more bits I have to list soon. Since I'm here and all.

A few pair of soldered tin earrings. Just the tin without the pewter backing as in the beads. Better for earrings. Nice and lightweight. The beads are more interesting with the pewter edge and the weight  (to my mind anyway).

Why do I get blue tinted pictures so often?  Aaaarrgg. I don't want to be a photographer.

They are reversible.

With sparkle and purly glass leaves

with Petra drops

Geybird Rey and turtle bone.

I should also mention, for those who may wonder, I do not condone harming animals for use in jewelry or else. I do my best to obtain found items and legally obtained fossil ivory. The fox fur I have used was gifted to me some time ago. Not to be wasted.

Mixed bones. Turtle with dyed mystery bones gifted from Shipwreckdandy. Correction - turtle and dyed mystery wood of some dense delicious variety.

                

bits

Some new-ish bits.

I recently listed earrings made with these little Buddha heads from here.  They look like wood but I think they're cast resin or some such.They also look heavy but they're not.  A few pair have Greybird beads, a few with dyed bone from Richelle .

A few more beads to list. Steel and copper spirals.

 Bronze and copper twisted wire spiral bead

These two were made from a pin my sister sent me.  It was a horrendously ugly gold over copper plated branch of tiny orchids.  She hoped I'd find a use for the scary thing.  Surprised me that I actually did.  I gleefully smashed them for beads and sanded the copper through in places. I like the way they turned out. 

Lastly, a requested vessel with tin. I got carried away with adding a stopper with silver chain, red glass bead and curly bronze handles so it may be more than she had in mind. But I think she'll love it.

 

 

The last of my cherry blossom tin. Sniff.
