I think I’m starting to get the hang of taking pictures of my work. I’m not completely sold on the background (it has a pixelated effect and I’d rather it be smoother) but as far as lighting, cropping, framing, etc. I’m pretty happy with how my most recent photo session came out.
mehndi teardrop amulet necklace
This is one of my amulet necklaces – I choose a selection of items in a motif that tell a little “story”… maybe it’s a color story or a story about geometry… this particular necklace is an exotic story! I set a marquis faceted blue sapphire into the fine silver clay and fired it in place and wrapped a sky blue zircon at the top. I accented both little silver drops with a deep blue kyanite briolette. I love the royal colors of the blue with the exotic design.
Oval Lily Cluster Necklace
This necklace has my favorite little “flip flop” mini cornflake keishi pearls in an unusual shade of baby blue. Mixingcolors with these pearls was challenging as the shade of blue has a subtle cast of green in it but it didn’t go with my usual blue/green stones that I tend to favor when I make things for myself. I used chalcedony and iolite in the necklace and in the cascade I used additionally some gray sapphire and mystic blue quartz.
Granulated Disc Necklace
Do you ever make something and think “I hope this doesn’t sell because I want it”? That’s the case with this necklace I made two years ago.
spiral textured oval earrings with quartz briolette
I made a series of these, from which I was going to make a bracelet, but then the show I was at, which was multiple days, I was selling out of earrings and I didn’t have any more fired pieces that I could make earrings for so I scratched my bracelet idea and decided to make multiple pairs of earrings instead – so now I have 4 pairs of earrings made from these little spiral textured ovals. I do think that they are pretty cute!
