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 25 - Theme: Waterfall, Mighty Waters

Des Cascades

Theme: Waterfall, Mighty Waters

This pair of earrings combines a peacock green freshwater pearl with a myriad of tiny chains which dangle from the focal point (the pearl). These little chains are light enough to feel any move and move freely and fiercely in the wind or with any step the wearer will take, which I hope symbolises the tumultous waters of a waterfall. I chose a peacock green pearl because I have visited (and bathed in) several waterfalls in the French Caribean whose waters were an Emerald green.

FSOJ - Week 24 - Pirates, Shipwrecked (father's day)

With all the fuss about PIrates of the Carribean, I noticed that the lead character is modelling some gorgeous rings on his fingers.
Her is What a pirate would wear on his fingers, what a Pirate would throw in his treasure chest.

Iced waters and icicles
a crocheted bracelet made with sterling silver wire and ice cubes of Rock crystal.
