Busy Work

Wow. So, ever since I bought myself that flex shaft, I've been busy in the studio working on jewelry for the past month. I had to put the Clurichaun on hold because I want to re-make the torso. Also wanted to not walk around the house covered in bits of wood shavings. At least for a while. Here's the progress on the little fellow for now:

 After making a few bracelets in the studio, I had some ideas for earrings. These spawned from one of the works in my Alice Elaine series:

Not the greatest photo...sorry. But I really enjoyed working with metals, fabrics, and beads. Eventually, this is what I came up with in the studio:

Needless to say it's been a busy couple weeks troubleshooting and experimenting with different fabrics and adhesives, but I think I got it worked out. I would really love to work more with animal parts but they can be tricky to come across...not to mention restrictions on certain species with the DNR. Gosh I just love those bird skulls though!

Yes! Another piece from my Alice Elaine series!

I wish this ring could fit me better...I would wear it all the time.
