Happy New Year! We've avoided the snow thankfully but it's been windy and cold so I've been staying warm indoors and getting a little bit of crafting done.
Before Christmas I made a silver pendant as a Christmas present and also another one as a commission from a friend of a friend, so as the kiln needed to be fired up it seemed a good idea to make a couple of pieces for myself too!
I forgot to photograph the first two pieces what with so much going on - I was just relieved to get them finished in time and boxed up! However, I've just finished polishing this one for myself and I'm pleased with how it came out. I would have preferred a slightly different stone to the white Moonstone on the left but that is all I had in my stash that toned with the Labradorite and Hematite. It was taken from a mould of a rough concrete surface and is chunky at about 4cm wide.
Love the new silver pendant, just my sort of thing but the grid collage are a life saver for me. When I get stuck for ideas and Mr Mojo goes walkabout I turn to this and it's so relaxing and comes together without hardly any brain effort, love it. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x7x
ReplyDeleteReally love the grid collages. What size are they? Happy WOYWW. Angela #13
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Diana! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, wishing love, peace and happiness for 2025. I love that chunky pendant, the texture and little stones are perfect and I rather like the little white moonstone with the other two. Those painting/collage grids are wonderful, you make it look so easy but I know how tricky it can be!

Ooh, that pendant is gorgeous, didn't know you worked with silver clay. Something I once thought I would try out but it didn't amount to much because of the firing. I must dig out my moulds and see what I have - I remember an Egyptian one I particularly liked.
ReplyDeleteJust love your little collages and can well imagine how calming they must be to make but what a gorgeous page they make in your book.

Oh what a delight to find lots of comments when I woke up again this morning. WOYWW is certainly my "constant" at the moment and I thank all you lovely ladies for being there for me, I am blessed.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pendant and super landscapes too. Anxiety is a pickle I spend a lot of time convincing myself why I shouldn't do stuff/go out. I pray your struggles fade away too. Hugs BJ#3
Happy New Year Diana. I do love seeing your artwork. Your attention to detail is wonderful. Silver clay always amazes me. The pendant is so textural and I do love the moonstone. That bright limey green is perfect to lift a dull cold day.x x Jo 🌈

ReplyDeleteGosh you are so talented. love the pendant and those little landscapes are gorgeous. I too have the bag of stash that comes every time I am at a crafty gathering as I try to persuade people to take it but I think I have exhausted that Avenue so ebay calls - just so tedious!! Have a great week, love n hugs Cindyxx #11
