Yes, I’ve been slaving away tonight. I’ve been doing all sorts of things, but I have been concentrating on a spot of production jewellery making – mostly piercing (or sawing) of a few bits and pieces which are now in need of making up into finished work.
The large blossom and the chrysanthemum are the closest to being finished. The chrysanthemum is for a custom order for the lovely Diana. It needs to be tumbled and then hung on two strands of deep red silk thread. I’m also making some extra thread pieces for Diana in different colours. Diana tracked this design down in my exhibition jewellery and object gallery.
The other pieces are some teensy blossoms and leaf pieces, all of which need cleaning up – filing, sanding and tumbling. The leaves need some wire soldered to them to be made into earrings and the blossoms need holes drilled in them so they can be used for chains and earrings.
So there you go – this is what I do at almost 4am in the morning! But now I will love and leave you and finally head for my nice bed.
Night night!
