Wishing Well

I Once Was

W.I.P.

Been busy ... nothing's really finished though ... still waiting for some beads I ordered...

Show and Tell ;)

Okay, as usual, I was in hurry to get the train this morning so I forgot to take my camera to school. I just "stole" some pictures from a colleague.
The first two are works made in the class I teach. The last one is what they did with my colleague... This year's theme was "hidden images". They did good, didn't they?

Gone Not Forgotten

There's something bitter sweet about these old photographs.
Who were they? Why someone's got rid of them?
I'm about to bring them to life... soon


Hello... yesterday was the opening of my students exhibition so I played dress up ( otherwise it's jeans and t-shirt when I'm working )... some students were impressed! The opening was great and I'm really proud of my students( will post pictures next monday so stay tuned!).

Bracelets

Leather, cotton, bone, wood and brass.

I made them last month.

I have a lot of WIP at the moment... working on different ideas for a show .... will post some photos next week!

Thanks for the previous comments and visits!

This and that ...

Look what I found in Manchester, UK .. An old album, most of the pages are blank and a few aren't ( 6 I think). This drawing was made in April 1902 !

I played with my soldering iron this week and got to use the microscope slides Sherry sent me , used them all so I bought some more!

I also practiced what Sherry taught me while I was visiting her last Fall and made these two pendants.

A found stone, brass and copper and an old spoon with an antique livery button and an antique 2 cents Belgian coin ( 1902).

Now let's play tag!

Mireille Duroy tagged me ( make sure to pay her a visit her jewelry is gorgeous!).Merci Mireille! I have to give you the links to 7 blogs I like to visit ... For once they will not be jewelry related ... Let's start:

1. Vanilla Garlic : if you like to cook and if you like being adventurous in your cooking, that's the place!

2. Color Me Katie : if you like to smile.

3. anders-anziehen : if you like to look at other people!

4. Rang- Decor : if you like exotic places.

5. Rodrigvitz Style: if you like colors.

6. Advanced Style : if you think style is ageless.

7. Un prof vide son cartable : rien que pour les francophones, même si vous n'êtes pas prof ( si vous l'êtes, vous vous sentirez moins seul(e)s!).

And I tag everyone who is reading this ... if you feel like playing of course!

Have a great week!

Wanted

Fabric, wood, bone, brass, bullet casing (thank you Sherry !) , polymer clay.

Tudor Voodoo

The focal piece of this necklace is made of a Tudor era clothing fastener, a swivelling hoop ( Tudor? Medieval?), fibers, a Roman time carnelian and a Tudor bronze heart. The chain is vintage silver from Syria....
It's a lighter alternative to my voodoo necklace... I made it last year, I think it will have a brother soon ( I have another clothing fastener waiting to be used!).
I wish you all a Happy Easter!

The Bone Collector

Cotton, bone, wood and brass

Brooch, cotton

Last month, I remembered I saw a dead fox on a dirt path last summer. When I saw it it was in a very bad shape, been laying there for a few rainy days and tractors had driven on it ...
So I decided to take a "little pilgrimage" to the dirt path. Nothing in sight ... then I spotted a white yellow thing in the dirt... I dug a little and found the treasure! Vertebraes, pieces of the jaw, a couple of leg bones, the hip bones, ribs ... I think I have at least half of the skeleton. While I was digging, a man who was walking his dog passed by me... I said hi and then he said hi. When he came back I was still digging so he asked me what I was doing ... "oh just digging out a fox skeleton" and he said "oh well..." and went ...I'm sure he thought I was some kind of weirdo! ;) Pity he did not ask what I was going to do with it ...

And more...

Red Cloud, cotton, leather, buffalo tooth, bone, copper and brass.

Sitting Bull, cotton, burlap, bone, glass and brass

fabric brooches

Wowww ! Thanks to this awsome internet provider I have I realised I was addicted to the net... And my awsome provider made me go "cold turley" for 3 weeks for some very weird technical reasons( well not so cold turkey , I managed to surf a bit with my ipod when I was in town). Now for no reason the net is back ( though the said on monday " not before mid april" ... go figure). But enough is enough and soon we will have a new provider, one that does not cut the connection without warning ... well one can hope...

This said , being without the net can be a blessing ... I made tons of new jewelry and took pictures of it and learn to use my new photo program... I also watch a lot of DVD's ( a thing I don't do often).

Thanks for all the previous comments! I missed you all ! Stay tuned for more jewelry! ;)
