Silver Heart III. Oxidised sterling silver, garnets and sapphires. 5 x 3.5 x 3.5 cm. . This was the third heart that I had cast, and I went for a more experimental approach. The wax had not been quite hot enough when I slip cast it in the silicone mould, so pour marks and gaps were evident but I like them very much. I embellished the edge of the open face with lots of garnets and tiny black sapphires, mostly to see if cast-in stones would work on something this size. The garnets were altered slightly, with most of them having a metallic sheen (bonus); a few stones moved and ended up in random places, but I am very happy with the results. . #castnotset #waxcarving #jewellerswax #jewellerymaking #technicalnotes #schmuck #joyeria #jewellery #silverart #silversculpture #precioussculpture #contemporarysculpture #sculpturaljewelry #heart #sacredheart #handheldobjects #exvoto #anastasiayoungjewellery #sacredsculpture #sacrecoeur #carving #carvedsculpture #corazones #handmade #♥️ #snagmember #acjmember https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv317ZMlxOI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pya6iedipk1p

The Lily Holds Firm: #Assemblage 2 for The Mystic Wheat, 2018. Copper, brass, sterling silver, mixed materials and found objects. . This is absolutely not a call to arms (see second image). I am advocating useful #labour for the benefit of society. (She says, posting her hard work for no remuneration). #timeforchange . We decided not to use any figures in the compositions for the project because it would cause referential issues (amongst other concerns); this meant that there ended up being some rather surreal objects used instead of figures. . #thelilyholdsfirm #dollart #dollarms #pipework #threshing #collage #workersunite #toriesout #craftobject #politicalart #politicalcraft #anastasiayoungjewellery #artjewellery #fineartjewellery #contemporaryjewellery #foundobjects #objettrouve #surrealism
