Then last night I made this bracelet and earrings set using the most beautiful kyanite beads I have seen for a long time. They are a blue/green colour with amazing lustre and colour changing inclusions.
I took the above pictures outside to maximise the colours shown in the beads and discovered a great texture background in my garden bench. I tried lots of areas in my garden to explore different types of natural background. It was pretty cold outside and I wonder what my neighbours must have thought seeing me lying on the damp grass - oh, what you have to do for a decent picture!

I love these!Your images turned out well also, the kyanite shows up great in the natural light and against the wood. Nice job with these and what a delightful way to do silver!
ReplyDeleteHi Kristin,
ReplyDeleteGreat jewellery and that garden bench is a wonderful background. I know what you mean about the neighbours - I take my photos on my patio table because of the natural light and because it is a neutral colour, but I do get some funny looks from people walking past ! Do you fuse or solder your rings ?

Thank you both for such positive comments. I really love making these jewellery pieces because they include two of my favourite things - circles AND texture.
ReplyDeleteThere isn't any fusing or soldering in these (I haven't learnt that skill yet, although I would like to one day).
I love hammered circles and the kyanite is so pretty. I make mine from fusing fine silver.
