MetalWerks, here we come!

The first earrings are ready to go and I've listed them on Etsy.  MetalWerks is back in business.  It will be a slow start as the knee surgery is scheduled for February 11th, slowly and surely I'll get the pages filled with jewelry.  One step at a time - LOL (it's going to apply to so many things this month).  That one step will about all I can take anyway.  Maybe I can make a sculpture out of that walker after surgery....never doubt a cleaver woman.

So here is what is being listed.  I hope every one enjoys my variation in style.  I'm taking the lampwork, tin, some assorted metal skills, semi-precious gems, and mixing it up.   Everything contains handmade sterling silver earring wire - full hard or spring wire (as it's sometimes called) this gives you that normal twang to the wire that keeps it from bending out of shape.  All the wires have been hand formed to the design so the pieces will swing freely on your ear.

 

 

 

 

Tin Heart Earrings

Have you been wondering what I did with all of those punched out pieces I did on the hydraulic press?  Sometimes it feels like I’m just one giant jewelry component maker.  I do amass a large number of parts, be it beads, metal, or ceramic.   There are lots of stashes around here for components I’ll tell you.  I’m like a raven – if it’s shiny or interesting it’s stashed around here somewhere.

This tin “thing” is speaking to me though and I’ve returned to making earrings.   I can only wear so many pair so I’ll probably revamp my old Etsy site for finished jewelry.   In keeping with the ArtWerks theme I’ve called it MetalWerks.  You can find it HERE.  It’s empty, but won’t be soon!
