In case you can’t already tell, I’ve fallen in love with metal. We’re making some beautiful children together 😀
My latest creation is one that’s been floating around in my head for a while, and I finally got around to making them yesterday – have a look…
Â
Metal Trio...
These are totally handmade, with sterling silver earwires, plus sterling, brass and copper strands of handforged metal. I love the combination that these metals make together.
A lot of people only work in Sterling, but I really like all three metals. I think I’m going to aim to make some more peices that combine the three – what do you think?
Here are some of our other babies… 🙂

I’ve signed up to take a silversmithing course in a few weekend’s time, too! I’m really excited. I am, however, very bummed out over the fact that they cancelled my painting course! Apparently not enough people signed up. Boooo. But I used the money I’d paid for that to pay for the silversmithing course instead, so not a total loss – I’ll just have to muck around with paint a bit more by myself for a while!

Definitely all 3. Personally I can only wear silver ear hooks and I know a lot of other people have similar allergies, but I love brass & copper, so I think combining is awesome!
Maybe something with circles, in copper & silver? Linked maybe?
Stop it Penny, you’re giving me ideas when I should be in bed!! 😀
Love your brass spirals 🙂 Have fun at your course
Thanks Carmel!
These are just lovely! have been watching your designs for a while now. Love the metal trio – just gorgeous 🙂
Thanks so much, Nikki! I’ve got more trio metal designs in the works – plus a stack of others! Now I’m waiting on my latest order of metal before I can bring some ideas into reality 🙂
