Etsy Front Page

Last night my 'La petite maison' necklace made it to Etsy's front page, no sales but lots of views and hearts.  Here is the treasury and thanks to magalerie for creating it :)

Friday Favourites

I haven't made anything new this week to show so thought I would show some more of my etsy faves.  Oh how I think I need to win the lotto!

I hope you like my picks, next post will be about what I have been up to in my metalsmithing class. :)

More metal work

As promised here are the other pieces I made this weekend, more pierced copper! First up is another hammered heart necklace, this one has a jump ring in the centre rather that a bail on the back.  I love to use my hammer and bash away and I also love the texture it gives.
Next is a little apple which was fun to cut and helped me practice my curves along with the heart.
And last but not least, one of my faves, a little house!  I love houses and I love seeing them in jewellery.  I would really like to do a series on houses but more like little 3D houses made from silver clay, something for the future no doubt.

At the moment I am practicing a lot with copper sheet and hope to start using silver sheet in the near future, as it is expensive I want to make sure I am not going to destroy it first!
