rings for men

To answer a request I make some big sized silver rings .

Soldering silver scrap on a ring band, every ring becomes unique

...to be finished tomorrow (hopefully!)

some interesting materials to play around with : rolled copper sheets, structured sheets and grid..

...foggy and cold... great studio weather!
have a great weekend!

Studio news

 working on new designs

 I´m really happy with these drops! They are big and eye catching. Despite the size lightweight and comfortable to wear !

...and I decided to not take silk for my art-beads...the fabric ropes were too soft, it looks more chic and modern with stainless steel wires!  (I´m sure my wonderful silk fabrics will become another chance!)

Experimenting is all!

studio news..

Dark salmon-red earrings

 available here ......

Studio Renovating Update... and "Ikea Hack"

 not ready yet, (haste makes waste!) .......
But here are some improvements we made:

My husband helped me  with the Ikea Ivar cupboards -, (actually it was his idea to put them on wooden posts from wall to wall, clever! ) 

I cut the shelfs in half to get place for the tools on the doors.

I put some mosaic tiles on the sill

...and made a rack for all the ledges and bars ...

dowelled onto the wall, so the floor can be cleaned easily

 What is left, (besides approx. 20 additional "To Do`s"), is to prime and paint the door after having removed the old coating!

have a wonderful weekend all!

very variable

The finished necklace

Answer to a problem...

I need a tool to get a thin rope into a crocheted tube.....

Needles are way to short, and if they are long enough, they are too thick!

So here is what I made:

 First is to solder a brass wire to a circle

Bended, one end clamped into the bench vise, the other into an electric drill!

 Then carefully twisted.....

 voila..:    ready to thread the rope through the tube

How often did you search for something this year?

 I did it countless times!

and to express my thanks I donate every year  !
......The amount of a book, or a meal in a restaurant....It feels good ( and you get a nice mail then)...
They do need money to keep things running!
