Bold as Brass ..

I am currently just a little bit in love with brass. In fact I am bonkers about it! I have been working hard to fulfill orders and requests and stock for shops and have had a busy and productive week-end. Not before time mind you - holiday mode seems to have hung around longer than usual this year ..

 Warm but shiny - love mixing up my metals.

Copper, brass and pewter on handmade sterling hooks. All the brass came from the base of one tray I got in the op-shop ... it went a long way ...

I used my hydraulic press to form these. The 'pods' are made of pewter.

I scratched 'em up pretty good huh? Well I want them to look aged ...

These are just FUN! I polished them up and then gave them a bit of a patina. Might have to make myself a pair of these!

And round 2 ...

cuffs and more ear-rings ...

'organic' dangles

recycled glass beads on copper headpins

I salvaged the glass beads - I reckon they have been dyed but i love the dusty vintage pinkness of 'em!

recycled glass beads, rainbow fluorite and recon turquoise. Again on copper headpins - shiny this time.

Definitely has a BoHo vibe about it don't you think?

Simple but pretty. One for the romantics out there. Well Valentines Day is coming up ...
