YOJ11-10 Wave Bracelet

YOJ11-10 Wave Bracelet

Wave Bracelet (2011) Sterling silver Formed, fused L 17.5 cm x W 1.1 cm (variable)   I’m still behind with posting, and I’m remembering that it was at about this point last year that I gave up on the YOJ because other parts of my life were overwhelming me. I’ve been doing interviews for the...

YOJ09-50 Marquise Series: Bracelet 3

Marquise Series: Bracelet 3 (2009) Sterling silver, copper, fine silver Constructed, cold-joined L 16.8 cm x W 1.1 cm For this piece, I took the idea developed in Week 48 and extended it to a bracelet.  The design looks simple, yet it surprised me how much work was involved in adding the copper beads. I...

YOJ09-45 Marquise Series: Bracelet 2

Marquise Series:  Bracelet 2 Sterling silver, fine silver Constructed, cold-joined L 19.5 cm x W 1.4 cm The next step in developing the Marquise Series was to add some form of embellishment, like a spiral.  To give this bracelet a bit of visual interest, I decided to alternate the links in mirror image.  They remind...

YOJ09-43 Marquise Series: Bracelet 1

Marquise Series:  Bracelet 1 Sterling silver Constructed, cold-joined L 19.5 cm x W 1.4 cm I’m doing a serious push to get caught up on my YOJ projects before the end of the year.  It’s sort of cheating, because I’m working on a bunch of things all at once, and posting it all in a...

Tutorial – Art Nouveau Bangle

I’m pleased to announce that my newest tutorial, Art Nouveau Bangle, is now available! This bangle features lovely flowing curves and Celtic elements that were common in the Art Nouveau period. The project was a big hit with my students at the Haliburton School of the Arts! Once you have the basic technique down, you...

YOJ09-34 Stocking up for Christmas

The week 34 project isn’t a specific piece of jewellery, per se, more like a bunch of things I made in preparation for Christmas sales on my Etsy shop. Not really much more to say than that.  Oh, and if you’re interested in purchasing my jewellery, click this link. Pin it

YOJ09-27 Art Nouveau Cab Bangle

Art Nouveau Cab Bangle (2009) Sterling silver, bloodstone L 21.5 cm x W 2.5 cm Constructed, cold joined Although it’s supposed to be a calming stone, I’ve always found bloodstone to have a kind of overpowering “in-your-face” energy that’s difficult to deal with.  For the last few weeks, though, I’ve been wearing it while working...

YOJ09-22 Viking Knit Bracelet

Viking Knit Bracelet (2009) Fine silver, sterling silver Nalbinding, cold connected L 20.5 cm x W 0.4 cm I’m hard at work on the tutorials for my class, so this week’s project is the product of that work.  I’ve been doing a lot of photography, and editing and layout.  I’ve been pretty much eating, sleeping...

Secret Santa 2008 – Sneak Peak :-)

I’m participating in the Secret Santa on CWJ again this year, and as usual, I’m choosing to work outside my comfort zone.  Back in the summer when I was teaching at Haliburton, one of the projects we did was a “freeform” bangle.  Now, anyone who knows me and has any familiarity with my past work,...
