Etching and Cold Connections from the Studio

Hi everybody!

It's been a while.....again, but somehow I think people don't have the time to go to blogs much any more. I'll share with you what I've been up to for the last few

weeks. It's been wonderful getting back to working with metal, cold connections

and etching again.

I'm not setting up an Etsy account but if you're interested in these pieces, you can

email me or private message me for information. However, the 1st on is already

gone. It's a vintage tin type made into a pin with etched brass.

This is etched copper on embossed brass with a brass star and wings. The large 

ball chain is 24" and a vintage brown. The Swarovski crystals are wrapped and hung with copper jump-rings. I like contrast and several colors of metal.

 

This is a stamped image that's etched into brass and layered onto a copper heart.

The beads are wire-wrapped and added to a gunmetal chain.

And this is the girl again etched in copper this time on a pounded brass plate. The arrow is "stitched" onto the brass with silver wire. This is a pin.

And these bracelets were simple, but fun. The bottom one is gone now, too.

So back to the work table to make something else. I cannot wear necklaces after a neck injury, so I'll either give them as Christmas gifts or sell to you guys to give this season.

 It all works!
