Output, output, output!!

Generally I am not much chop at production work. If I was a properly trained jeweller, I am sure I would be much better at it but as things stand currently, it isn't for me. The joy of making jewellery for me at the moment revolves around the problem solving process inherent with creating new pieces. Once I have worked through these and come up with something I like I am not that fond of making more of the same. This certainly makes it more difficult to make a quid from jewellery making but I am still learning heaps and quite content to bob along the creative journey.Just now though, I find myself under the pump to produce a decent body of work to take along to an unexpected but to-good-to-pass up art fair so I am trying to make more than one of things and get some runs on the board! It is working out okay - do all the enameling at once, organise things into steps and sections - really it is all about the planning! Here are some "production line"earrings ...

 

Nine pairs - yes indeedy you read that correctly NINE pairs! I wanted something in the $10 - $15 range and came up with these. Again, I am embracing my 'organic' style as these ones are not strictly matchy matchy 'cos each little glass pebble is slightly different! Me, I really like that effect but it remains to be seen how they are greeted by the general hoi polloi!

I had to share this pic because I like how everything is reflected in the glass- you can even make out the camera! Ah well, wish me luck with further production efforts - so far this is it - but hey - I have until Saturday!
