Some more sentimental jewels... :)

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.

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.

Wild Peach

These wild peach necklaces are one of my most favourite things. You will be seeing many more of these :)

My new favourite thing to cast? My Mother's paw paw flowers...

My mom bugged me for quite a while to cast some of her paw paw flowers, but now she is begging me to stop! They are super lovely (smell so good) and cast really well. I do like :)

Beautiful Things

I am very excited to be sharing the first casts to come out of my own studio. It is true that I did my own casting in college, but this is different. These casts are extra special and the start of many great things to come.

Frangipanis have always been one of my favourites. The flowers are so bright and beautiful, they smell so lovely and they twirl delightfully to the ground when you spin them; how much more lovely can one flower be?

The ferns have been coming out very well too. Looking forward to making many more of these.

The other mangrove...

Exactly a year ago today I posted a few pictures showing mangrove jewellery. (The version where the pods were dried out before they were cast). I also, in that same post, promised to post the version where the pods were cast before they had a chance to dry out. I can’t believe it’s taken me a year to do so (can’t really believe that this blog is more that a year old) but anyway, here it is, the other mangrove… :)
