We're in the process of organising a fund raising art and jewellery exhibition and sale at work for April next year, the proceeds of which will go towards purchasing of instrument for medical diagnostic work in our hospital. Anyhow, I have started making things for this purpose. Since I've bought some brass stampings and filigree pieces recently, thought I would incorporate them into my creations. I coloured the stampings with Gilder's pastes and really loved how they turned out. As these are for sale, I tried not to go over the top, and kept them relatively simple and wearable. Each necklace has its own matching earrings which I plan to sell as a set. The necklaces are actually longer than shown in the photos. I had to tuck them up at the back to make them fit the display busts. A couple of the rings were made from the "sparkly wheels" pattern in a recent issue of Beadwork, and the Guilder's paste and some of the stampings were from Brenda Sue from B'Sue Boutique.
Hi Caroline! I wanted to thank you so much for the gift on your blog, I'm sorry that I'm just now getting around to leaving you a note. It's been super busy around here, and for some reason, I couldn't leave you a comment on your previous post. Your work is gorgeous and I've always been such a huge fan. Thanks so much for mentioning me and for your beautiful comments, it meant a lot coming from you. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI was just looking these on the Beading Forum but thought I'd comment here too... wow these are just amazing... I'd certainly buy all 3 in a heartbeat! Absolutely stunning Caroline.
ReplyDeleteI am sure with pieces like this you are going to raise lots of money for your fundraiser. Good luck!

Hi Marcie, you're very welcome. Your work is outstanding, and you deserve all the recognition and success you get. I'm sorry to read about the problems you've had with your tutorial being copied and passed around for free. I couldn't believe someone would do such a horrible thing. Hope you have resolved the issue with the person involved. Thanks for your comments too, and have a great day!
