Over the last month I have been sorting and clearing materials I have collected and in some cases even cut and drilled - but not assembled - see below.
Whilst some metal and bits and pieces have made their way into recycling I decided to assemble all the jewellery related bits - making earrings and pendants.

A couple of process photos follow. A couple of delicate earring blanks cut from Scottish slate - ground and drilled!! Earring drops cut from vintage tea-spoons etc
Photos of assembled earrings and pendants appear in the photos below. I love the combination of the rusty washers, riveted silver plated band and a solid silver chain - gorgeous contrasts.

The sorting, clearing and assembling processes in both the workshop and on the jewellery assembling desk now means I can get on with other metal work tasks I have planned including: another Memory Keeper Bowl; another Meditation Incense Bowl; a few more Daily Leaf Word Sets; some small metal books with stamped words; and some patinated copper leaves. These things will appear on the blog over the next couple of months.
