Texture and shade

My house has been smelling of rotten eggs recently! My kids keep moaning at me!  I have been exploring texture and shade in my jewellery pieces by adding embellishments to silver sheet or hammering it with different implements and I have found the best way to show off these textures is by oxidising.  Normally I'm a lover of bright and shiny silver but for some reason I'm being drawn to the dark side!

    I love how subtle the oxidisation looks on those leaves... I've not yet embarked on the route of rotten eggs but I do believe it's just a matter of time...! Thanks for sharing :)

    Thank you SMJ, I didn't think I would enjoy oxidising my jewellery as much as I have. I tried it a couple of times in the past but have now definitely realised its potential with highlighting texture.

    They look really good, it is a great way to highlight texture. I'm now immune to the smell......... :D

    Thanks Tracy - not sure whether I'll ever get used to the smell... I have inherited a keen sense of smell which I now realise I have passed onto my children!

    I personally prefer the oxidized look on silver to the shiny. Mostly because it helps highlight the detail. Lovely earrings :)
