New Collages

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

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. :)

Work to be done

Some new casts waiting to be turned into beautiful jewels!

This pod is particularly dear to me-I collected it while on holiday in Thailand, about seven years ago. It was a very special time as I got to meet up with a wonderful Australian friend whom I had not seen in 10 years. We spent a month exploring all we could of that very beautiful country-it was a truly magical time. I plan to turn this pod into a ring (/weapon of self-defence, should the need arise).

Bluegum worm: I plan to turn these mini bluegum pods into stud earrings, but I discovered that they make a rather nice worm. Think I need to cast a lot more and look into bracelets and dangly earrings.
