Yesterday’s post was a photo of my newest earrings in progress. I started with argentium sterling silver wire, made some rings, attached wires to use as earhooks, added some texture, shaped the hooks, smoothed the wire ends….for a fairly simple style, there were actually quite a few steps involved.
I don’t use solder in my metalwork, [...]

Yesterday’s photo was shot by me (!) over the weekend. I can’t believe I got so close to a bug that big voluntarily – I have a bit of a phobia – but for whatever reason, being behind the camera makes it seem okay.
I think the photo is really cool. I’m learning to use manual [...]

Yesterday’s photo is of a small freeform pendant I made recently. It is made from argentium sterling silver and a single freshwater pearl in my signature freeform style. It’s a little smaller than I usually make my freeform pieces – less than an inch in total length – hence the name.

Yesterday’s photo is of a little cluster of blossoms on a plum tree. The tree itself looks a lot like a blossoming cherry tree to me – very pretty – so I’m glad I got some pictures while it’s in full bloom.

I used the [...]

Hmm, what to tell about yesterday’s photo? He’s wearing a frog towel. It’s really cute. And for five minutes after the bath, his face was clean!
Here’s a side view:

My Wordless Wednesday post from yesterday shows a freeform pendant I made by partially melting silver scraps. It’s a very organic process in which I fuse and melt bits of wire and sheet until they form a sculptural piece that is interesting to me.
Once I have my silver piece, I usually embellish it by adding [...]

I just discovered Tell Me Thursday, a great blog meme where, on Thursday, you talk about your photo from Wordless Wednesday – brilliant idea!
Yesterday’s photo is of a pendant I just finished up a few days ago. It is made from argentium and fine silver with freshwater pearls. Although you can’t see the metalwork in [...]
