Pretty agapanthus flower pendants

Sterling silver agapanthus flower pendants. Oxidised vs. non-oxidised.

I know it has been forever since I last posted (I have been hibernating a little bit) however, I thought that these pretties were too lovely not to share. Hope you like them! :)

Sweet Wild Garlic Stud Earrings

I love these earrings. Such precious little flowers, they always make me happy.

New Collages

I'm working on some collages for my 'Kammers Vol Geskenke' application. These are my first two. :)

Sneak peek at some new work for Design Indaba :)

Gazania leaf pendant

Clivia flower pendant

Double paw paw flower ring

Frangipani flower ring

Wedding Memento Jewellery :)

One of my favourite things to do is to cast and create a meaningful piece of jewellery using something (like a leaf or a stem) from a bride's wedding flowers. Being the sentimental person that I am, I find this the height of specialness. :)

Cathy love's her wedding bouquet, rose stem bangle and hardly ever takes it off. This makes me very happy.

Recent Casts: Works in progress

Love, love my beautiful orchids!

Cast from a dehydrated slice of paw paw.

This is quite a solid, heavy cast, but I like it very much. It will become a bangle.

Beautiful leaf-it will become a pendant.

These leaves leave a very strong smell on ones hands after handling, but they are very beautiful. Trying to decide if they become two pendants or a pair of earrings...?

This lovely little anthirium will probably become a ring. :)

Phalaenopsis Orchid Pendant

Finished Phalaenopsis pendants. These are two of the flowers that I posted (before they were clean) two posts back. The bottom one has been oxidised and the top one has not.

Some of today's casts... :)

So... about three and a half months after building (and sharing) my mushroom tree, I have finally cast it! It is not altogether perfect, some parts have not come out and a few mushroom heads are missing (must have come loose when I poured the investment) but still, they were a bit of a gamble from the start, so I am very pleased that some are good and complete.

 Aren't these orchids beautiful?! I just could not resist them. The casts will make beautiful pieces once cleaned up. :)
