I want to share some of our newest pieces in silver clay. Below are two fine silver cross pendants, one (left) with a deep blue cubic zirconia faceted stone and the other a garnet cabochon. The design comes from an old shell-cut earring that came to me from Grandmother and inspiration came from a mold-making class I taught at Two Loose Beads. I made a mold of each earring then added my own touches to the pieces. The shell is pictured at right (with blue tape on the back); at far right the cross is dry and ready to be fired.
Lisa recently made the beautiful dome below in my class on semi-hollow forms. (Yay, success!...though she is already very accomplished in this medium.)
I love the vintage quality she created with the rose texture and the added embellishments.
And everyone is delighted with the hidden flower!
Next is a fun pair of earrings, the third pair I’ve made. All is fine silver excepting sterling earwires and ball end wires on the bottom. The stone is a faceted pale lavender cubic zirconia. The inspiration came from playing with syringe clay and an ongoing attachment to the celestial. Currently I am working on my own dome pendant (coming soon!) and next month will be expanding into bronze clays in the classes. We will be making a pair of earrings to kick things off! More on that soon, plus lots of jewelry to come! Thanks for having a look. Shauna
