I was cleaning out a closet the other day and found an old box of jewelry...some silly costume stuff from pre-jewelry making days and some early pieces I attempted. The leaves in today's earrings were favorites that I used to wear before I discovered artisan/handcrafted. They were a brass finish, without any real patina, and immediately, my wheels started to turn. I took the old earwires off and went down to my work station and stuck them in the torch! Yay, they didn't melt! I had been working with seafoam and nile green enamel, on a previous piece, so that is what I used. I love how they turned out.

I had been working on completing my necklace I started for Art Jewelry Elements' Component of the Month for August, which was my month. The combination of juicy orange with the seafoam blue really hits home for me, so I decided to keep the earrings in that color scheme! I added Czech glass leaves and flowers dangled from a bit of chain.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful enamel! Great color scheme with these. I wonder if they were brass plated steel or something and that's why they hung in there in the torch?
