Earrings!

 

 

Earrings

Other a small workshop at school once this pair of silver hooped earrings is the first (proper) jewellery I  have made and infact I am pretty proud of them.

Jewellery making all came about around a month or two ago when my mum and I decided to do a jewellery class every other week. This Is because I want to explore different crafts and art.

The process in order to make these involved some new techniques and media for example needle files, ------saws (and some other stuff I could describe but can't name). However some of they stuff we used I was familiar with because I had either seen or used them before in resistant materials at school.

The idea of doing the little silver flower and leaves was a pretty simple process I suppose. I did my usual research for inspiration as well as jotting down some designs. And I knew I wanted something along the lines of flowers (or birds etc) to make them unique because otherwise what is the point of making them?!

I've already decided that my next jewellery challenge will be an elephant brooch.

And finally I would like to thank Catherine for helping me and my mum with our jewellery making! X
