A Valentine's day gift for someone you "moon over"
It is said if you give your lover a moonstone necklace when the moon is full you will always have passion with each other. It is also said that you should practice letter stamping on copper before doing it on sterling silver. I clearly did not do this! The recipient assures me it adds to the handmade look!
14th February is almost upon us! If you haven't submitted your Valentine's Day themed design yet, don't worry as you still have a couple of weeks left to enter.
What lovely entries. That rose is beautiful Peter.
I've not posted for ages either (hope things are improving for you Ceri), last year was annus horriblus for us, with a few wonderful moments.
The most romantic pieces I have ever had the privilege of making were my children's engagement rings. The first for my daughter, keeping that a secret was a killer, and the second for my son to give to his (now) fiancee......
The entries this month are all beautiful! And Peter and Goldsmithing you are both amazing as usual, I can only dream as being nearly as good one day...
I'd like to enter my heart-of-hearts necklace. This is actually part of my first batch of items I created from wax and sent away to be cast. The heart design is something I could have just pierced from silver sheet but I wanted to experiment in wax! I used a piece of pre-sliced Ferris File-a-Wax for the heart and the arrow was made using pink sheet wax and blue wax 'wire'. I created the heart design using Word. The past few years I've been learning traditional silversmith techniques and then got distracted with metal clay for a while. For me wax casting feels like a combination of both which I find pretty exciting right now. (Photographing jewellery is still a challenge for me, so I go around my house taking pics under different lighting, etc. to see what works best, which is why my pictures all look so different!)
