Make It March day 7
simple drilled seaglass and sterling cufflinks
The sea glass tablets, collected from the beach in Scotland I used to play on as a wee girl, have been ready drilled for a while now. So yesterday I torched and pickled the wire then assembled the fittings.
Voila! They're part of what's turning into my "simplicity" collection - a range of simple, classic, unadorned pieces similar to this argentium sterling lace cuff.
Cufflinks above for sale on Etsy, $82 plus shipping.
Lace argentium cuff is a custom order only right now.

fibre friday
wire fibre art pendants
Finally got around the listing these cute and fresh spring pendants, both handcrocheted wire with wool roving embroidery felted into the mesh.
Cute, funky, totally original and available here.

ring cycle
purple poppy: wire and fibre needlefelted ring
Finishing a project off is as good as starting a new one!
I'm really pleased with this ring. It's an almost first for me in wire crochet and a continuation in exploring a new technique to add into my wire pieces. This bracelet was the first one (and it sold!) and I hope to explore some more in less functional, more artistic projects (though I hope that all my pieces get worn sometimes). Maybe I'll have a whole bouquet of these little rings soon!

Make It March: day 2
my window ledge photographic studio in action!
Well rather frustratingly, today all I did was take product pics and photoshop them for listing.
But I did get it all done, and the listings are now all bookmarked to add to my etsy shop this week so maybe tomorrow I can settle down at the bench and create?
PS: green fuzzy annelli necklace shown on bust now for sale

Make It March
In January I recovered from Christmas.
In February I set up a work from home routine and dealt with all the paperwork.
In March I will have to do my taxes, but as some light relief my blog posts here will have the theme "Make It March". I'm planning on creating some new pieces and listing work for sale ie. making stuff, and hopefully making some money to pay the taxes! It's not going to be as intense as Design-A-Day April from two year's ago but I will be posting WIP and finished pieces almost daily.
I already have some inspiration, as you can see above. This beautiful lampworked glass bead fits onto a handknit wire chain. I'm working on a clasp for the chain and testing out its strength in the final design. It's a kind of knitted orbitals design but with the bead strung instead of incorporated into the mesh as in this gold wire bracelet.
