Some more Bits and Bobs.

These are some more test pieces, the copper vessel is a pill holder. 
I wanted to test weather I needed to re-enforce the ends of the tube. 
As you can see from the photo I didn't need to. The ends are nice and neat, without the need for 
re-enforcing strips.

The next test was to make a whistle, tesing the Mokume Gane in the same way which also worked 
well.  
Also I made a little ring with the Mokume Gane technique


I am really enjoying making these vessel's they are good fun and make nice gifts.

Silver, copper and Mokume gane

These are my newest projects. The first is a pen with silver embellishment, which Katie Baum taught at my studio here in Chichetser.

The second and third are my own experiments. They are both perfume bottles. One is made with copper clay with gem setting and the other is a mix of silver and copper to give the look of Mokume gane. 

I am very pleased with the results and will continue playing around with this technique.

I hope you enjoy looking;-)

Critter number 8

This is critter number 8
I have been making clocks and I love cats so I made a stylised cat clock.
It is 30cm tall. He was given to my Neighbour Idz as she gave me the inspiration for this critter clock.

Nesting rings

I just realised that I have never uploaded my Pythagorus theorem rings. 
These are in Holly Gages Calendar, which I am very pround of.
These are made with sterling silver clay.
