Here is the Mathildis Coronet finished and being set up for a photograph. The gloved finger gives an idea of scale. The Coronet is on show at the Goldsmiths’ Centre @gsmithscentre until July 11.

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
Another hand painted and handmade flowery pair has been added to my shop. I have a cat called Daisy which inspired this piece. A link to my etsy shop so you can purchase these or have a gander at my other items is https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/RustedSilver.
I’m getting very excited about having a stall at my first fair next weekend. I even got my birthday present a week early (a pasta maker) so I can make even better quality items ready to sell to my lovely locals.
I had a super fun day yesterday trying out a new technique for making my earrings. I’ve bought a set of cutters from @chip.chop.shop which I love dearly and have been hand painting and glazing the earring surface once baked.
I have my first craft stall in September and I’m feverishly making things so my shop looks busy and exciting. Expect to see these up on my Etsy shop shortly as @g.celda is coming for an awesome photoshoot in a couple of weeks.
