Soleil de Minuit - FSOJ week 35

Fire and Ice / Midnight Fire

Midnight Fire was inspired by the cool light that emanates from planets in the sky, at night. I used Cultured pearls for the light and 18k yellow Gold for the Fire

Pearls are a Woman's Best Friend

Molten Metal / The Alchemist's Crucible

Melting silver in Balls, linking them together with fat wire ==> a magic Ring adjustable to any finger, which can be moulded to any shape and position
It was quite fun and unpredictable to melt silver into balls. Needless to say, they mainly looked like blobs and bubbles.



This ring was created for the birthday of a friend who loves silver. I named it after her.

FSOJ - week 30 - Spicy Babe

Theme of the Week: Salsa / Spicy

Although I was first drawn to using reds and fiery oranges, I decided to think about Dancing Salsa.

I learnt Salsa with a Cuban Man. It was fantastic, full of rythm and lascive moves, Sexy and Hot.

Women wear tiny skirts that move and lift the air around them with the slightest movement. They are beautiful. Long slim and muscular legs, dark hair, high heels, lipstick and a tiny handbag with an attitude.

FSOJ - Week 29 - Bronze Beauty / Mercury Rising

In Roman mythology Mercury is the god of commerce, travel and thievery, the Roman counterpart of the Greek god Hermes, the messenger of the Gods. The planet probably received this name because it moves so quickly across the sky.

Bronze Beauty / Mercury Rising
Bubble im Orbit
I did not have any bronze around, therefore, I settled for Mercury Rising Theme. I used Sterling Silver. The planet I created is an organic planet, conscious of its resources. I forged the metal into domes after embossing leaves in its texture.

A bit like Jupiter, there is a "ring" around my planet, which is fixed with soldier, That contains Mercury :), a bit like the line of the horizon.

I oxydised the globe, and then polished it, in order to show the skeleton at its maximum.

FSOJ - Week 28 - Phoenix and Dragons

For this week's theme, I hav ecreated a pair of sterling silver earrings.

The Phoenix is a bird of Fire, which I symbolise with faceted Red Fire Beads, in the shape of drops, like blood, to which I have added dragons eggs as lustrous white freshwater pearls.

They hang from a sterling silver chain made of round and flat links of about 1 cms each.

FSOJ - week 26 - Beach Party

Ce soir je serais la plus belle pour aller danser...
A fun little bracelet that will enhance any beach swimwear.
