Leaves!

I just love, love, love how these necklaces turned out, if I do say so myself!

They are made from real leaves which have been painted in silver clay paste (the back of the leaf is painted, the veiny bit).  I fire them in my kiln for about 30 minutes at 650℃, the leaf then burns away and the pure silver leaf is left with all the detail, how cool!

Once I had brushed them I oxidized them and then burnished the edges to really make them sparkle and twinkle in the light. I hope you like them and you can now find them in my Etsy shop :)

New in the Shop

I am back on my laptop now, yay, just a quick post to update you with the new listing in my shop, these super cute earrings. ↑

Also my leaf necklaces are finished so I will have some pics up of those tomorrow. 

Blogiddy blog

I will be back with a half decent blog post soon, my other half reclined the sofa on my laptop charger and broke it, dammit. A new charger should be here tomorrow fingers crossed!

Work in Progress & sale!

First of all I made a sale today, yay! it was my falling star necklace that sold so that has made my day.

Secondly I have been making some silver leaves, the reason being is that I ran out of silver clay but have loads of paste so I thought I would utilize it and make some leaves.  Im not sure what the outcome of them will be yet but I am pretty sure they will be oxidized and turned into necklaces, maybe combining them with polymer clay.
