Road Block Unblocked.... kind of

What to do when you are facing a wall... Make something that is more technical than creative... So I reached for my copy of Joanna Gollberg"s Making Metal Jewelry and chose a project. Of course I couldn't help making my own design, the cuff in the book had some geometric shapes cut out... I went for snakes

Then I had all these little snakes left and I decided to make some earrings.

And also, jewelry books are like cook books ... don't trust the measurements .. believe me, I followed the instructions and knew I was cutting too many links ... so I made this pendant, and obviously I haven't been making rivets for a long time, these are not even ... The design of the necklace was kind of inspired by Sherry and she gave me the beads a long time ago.

We had some rain at last... it's been so hot here and by what I read it will be hot again... I know I should not but I long for sweaters and jeans and boots ... Hope you're enjoying the summer!

Une Dame du Temps Jadis

Sorry...

if my "Clash" obsession is that serious ... here's another song I really, really love ...

Pendant

Fox bone, copper on silver chain.

In the ears tonight...

The summer break starts tomorrow ... so more time to make stuff ... yeah!

Show Time! ;)

These never made it on my blog before... resin, bones, horse air and some other things...

Yesterday, I went to some kind of "bal masque" with my best friend we had fun even though the music was not that good... I dressed as a "girl" for once ... I even let my friend "paint" me! ;)
And this is in my ears now ...

In the ears...

No jewelry yet but some ideas are coming... stay tuned...

Well, that's what it said when I asked its name ( yeah... it... I still don't know if it's a boy or a girl).
I found it in a park in town, no mother in sight ( though I looked everywhere) and it started to following me like I was its mum. So I felt guilty to let it alone ( a lot of dogs there and the road not far from there). I took it home and it seems to love its new place.
I know I don't blog much these days, not much to show ( I'm kinda disappointed because the gallery where I show my stuff is going to close down) and the nice weather is calling me out to care for the garden or to visit friends... Thanks for all the previous comment and I will try to show some new stuff very soon! Hope you're enjoying the nice weather as well!

Round Robin : my necklace is back

A few months ago, Sherry, Lucie, Lindsay and me decided to have a necklace round robin.
Each of us chose a theme and started a necklace and then sent the unfinished piece to one of us who then sent it to the next one etc.
The first photo is my necklace before I sent it to Sherry.
And the second one is my necklace after its visits to Sherry, Lindsay and Lucie. Can you guess what my theme was?

It was Jack Sparrow though in this case it could be named Jack Robin!

Made In Belgium

A few weeks ago I was visiting Artmind's blog and saw she has been experimenting with Egyptian clay. She was not really pleased with the results but I left her a comment to say I would not mind to trade her experiments with anything she'd like. And Last week I received this wonderful package. She sent me the beads she made plus postcards of her sculptures. I still have to surprise her. If you want to know more about her art, please follow the link.... Thank You Mitsy! Dank je wel! :)
