– I continue to try out different designs in chain maille. I’ve made some more byzantine chain bracelets, incorporating beads into the design, like the one pictured, and a pouch in european 4-1 that was great fun to make. It’s like making a glove finger except that you close it on the other side instead …
– When it comes to making jewelry I tend to like classic and elegant designs and seem to be very attracted to ancient techniques. From Celtic knots to Egyptian coils, chain maille or viking knit, designs and techniques that have been around for ages and are still just as beautiful as when they were invented, …
– I’ve loved chain maille for a long time but it wasn’t till recently that I really set out to learn how to make it. I love the way metal can feel as soft and flexible as fabric and how you can make such elaborate designs using nothing but little jump rings. The very first …
– Há já algum tempo que andava com vontade de experimentar fazer peças em cota de malha. É uma técnica que adoro desde que era miúda mas que ainda não tinha tido oportunidade de aprender. Quando era pequena, uma colega da escola tinha um porta moedas em cota de malha e eu adorava brincar com …
– After making the previous necklace and bracelet from beach-found glass, I was asked to make a matching ring and this is the result. I used an adjustable ring frame to support the net that holds the glass piece and then wrapped the frame in the same 0,3mm wire to give it extra texture.
– A friend asked me to make a couple of pieces out of some glass she found at the beach. It’s broken glass from some bottles that has been smoothed by the action of the sea and the sand – a natural tumbler: it may take a bit longer but gets the work done. Since …
– After making the branch earrings it was only a matter of time until I could make a matching necklace. It took a bit longer and my fingers were very sore from coiling all that wire but I’m proud of the result. It looks different from anything I’ve seen and it’s pretty and elegant (I’m …
– When I first started making jewelry for my online store I made several very simple necklaces because I like simplicity and because I needed more than a couple of items to start the store. Some of those first necklaces never sold because they were not very original and so I’ve started recycling the beads …
– I’ve been really busy making new stuff to take to the stores that carry my jewellery and while making a truckload of my coil rings, and getting a bit tired of doing the same thing, I had an idea of how to make matching earrings and was very pleased with the result. The coiling …
– I’ve been meaning to make a mosaic pendant for some time. It’s a great piece for using left-over beads but at the same time it requires a careful selection so that the color and size of all the beads works together. It also needs one or two larger beads that work as focal points …
– I have a college degree in communication design which basically means I’ve studied and have had an interest in the visual arts for most of my life. And for as long as I can remember, whenever the students were supposed to do any creative work, there was always someone talking about how wrong it …
