Most of the day was spent with Fiona doing curtain stuff for her dad. But I did grab a bit of time this afternoon to turn some of the beautiful bits of metal below into jewellery including the brooch pins above. These pins can be used to pin a scarf or simply as a decoration on one's coat. Fiona tested the prototype and pinned it on the lower side part of her coat. The brass pins are 50mm across.
Some of the components became earrings as you can see below.
I did add a jump ring and a rubber neck piece to a lovely textured melted metal rectangle to make a pendant. The rectangle of metal is about 50mm long and 25mm wide.
There are still more melted metal components to be assembled; but that is for another day.
Love them. While you are wet we need rain.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful creations as always Barry. I havent done all the research yet... but I had a customer who required a shawl pin : a very masculine, smart dressed is his style. Im wondering if something more like raw metal, pitted, coloured like copper. Im thinking of your pins and my shawls!!! Anyway something for the gentleman is always appreciated. Maretta
ReplyDeleteLA and MB - thanks for your comments - sorry about my tardy response. LA - hope you got a bit of rain. MB - I agree that the shawl pin for a male can be a bit industrial or steam punkish. In the past I made some such pins - one local male still wears his out in winter many years later. Go well. B
