Jewellery

I have been making lots of new jewellery, I have been experimenting with pewter.

This is all my shapes cut out.

This is them with the rings attached.

An owl pendant that I have recently finished.

My horse and carriage necklace.

A sewing machine and camera.

Boat, guitar and key

Knitting, girl on a swing and a guy playing a guitar.

New pendant

I have just finished this new pendant, what do you think?

Just made a new necklace- daisy chains.

I tried out letter stamping a while back and had not until now made use of it. So I cut out these little flowers from aluminium and made a pretty necklace.

Ring

As promised this is the ring I have made.

Making a Ring

I decided recently that I would make a ring. I have made one ring before, but it was a flower one very different to my new idea.

I decided to design a ring that I would cut out with a piercing saw. I played with lots of ideas and designs before settling on one.

I did a test run also, which took me a lot of time and had a few problems- mainly some weak points that needed to be stronger (which I took into consideration the next time round).

Here is my final design that I drew out into my notebook.

I then drew this on to the aluminium sheet and began cutting it out with a piercing saw.

This image shows my piece held in a clamp which I use to hold it while cutting.

This is my ring once all cut out and roughly filed.

I need to just do some finishing touches to this ring and then I will upload a pic soon. It currently needs a little more filing and finishing.

Daisy Pendant

I have just made this daisy pendant. It is cut from aluminium, filed and sanded, then a silver bead added.

Just a quick update on this necklace (I know- how excitin!!), but I have just added lots of turquoise and pink beads to it and wanted to show it off. Very pleased with it, think it looks pretty. I was unsure if to add beads to it or not, but thought y not go 4 it, so I did. May even add a few more!!

Butterflies

Hand cut butterflies.

I made these by hand by firstly cutting out the butterfly shapes from aluminium sheet, then filing and sanding them. I then painted one of these turquoise.

These can be made into earrings or a necklace.

Flower bracelet

Just a quick post. This is a bracelet I have just recently made and one I have been thinking about and planning for some while. I wanted to make a delicate bracelet with lots of pretty flowers.

This is made with wire that I hammered and flowers that I cut out individually by hand, then shaped, filed and added a bead to to finish.

Pendant From start to finish

This post is to show how I work and how I make a pendant from start to finish.

With all of my jewellery I start off at the designing stage, I tend to have lots of ideas and keep these in a notebook. Sometimes I have an idea and get right on and make it, other times the idea sits untouched for ages and then I come back to it. I have lots of unmade ideas floating about as always!

This shows how I made a layered flower pendant. Once the design was sorted I begin by drawing the shapes I need on to a sheet of aluminium.

I then drill holes where they are needed and then cut these out with a piercing saw.


This is then filed and sanded to get rid of any markings, rough edges etc.


This could then be a pendant on its own, but for this one I was creating a layered pendant and so wanted to add other layers to it.

I did the same to make a smaller aluminium flower and also cut a middle sized flower from plastic. I also choose a bead that I wanted at the centre.

These are the finished pieces layed out ready to be put together. I then layered these up how I wanted them and glued them together.

This is the finished pendant!

Ring

I have been planning on making this ring for quite some while and have now finished it. I have worn it out a few times 2 and lovin it!

I made the ring from an old recycled fork handle and the flower from aluminium sheet and added a pearl bead for the centre.

I can make this item as a pendant or customise one for you, for more info contact me at:

Frog Prince pendant

This is a new pendant that I have just made. It was made from aluminium, cut with a piercing saw.

I love fairytales and the idea of magic and this was my inspiration for this piece. I might move on to castles next!! Or maybe a combination. I also have some little birdies I want to make soon. I'll post more pics as I make them.

If you would like any of these pieces, my pieces range from £40- £50 with Free P&P.

I can also make customised items, so if you have any ideas or know what you would like, let me know. I can also make Brides and bridesmaids jewellery and we can dicuss this in detail if you wish. Contact me at: surfjewels@hotmail.co.uk for more info.

New Necklace

I have just made this new necklace.

I used lots of beads that I have recently made combined with some grey ribbon and silver cord. I also used a handcut flower that I made from aluminium and then painted.

I was inspired by the greys and peach colours I've seen used together recently. I think they look really pretty together.

I think this will be a nice summery necklace.
