I know I’m supposed to be focussing on making a million of a smaller number of things for the approaching City of Craft, but I started messing with some of the feathers I had laying around and I really like these necklaces, particularly the circular bird’s nest ones. All this week I’ll [...] Belts were on yesterday’s list. I knocked off four military-style belts in various colours… All with nice, heavy-duty hardware… I also made seven bow belts, ranging in size from 25-34 inches. These are meant to be worn high on the waist with a dress or skirt, so I figured that’s a pretty good [...] More. Always more. And more.
Evermore. Sorry, raven.
[...] Really, what I want to do is show off the stuff I made in my silversmithing class. Last night I hit a point where I felt like – BAM. I can everlovin’ DO. THIS. BIZ. Not that I’m a pro yet, but there’s just so much you can make with no more than a jeweller’s [...] And why not put them on necklaces too? I’m into it. This guy’s on a gold-plated chain. This one, antique brass. And these fellas are on sterling silver. By my estimation, I only have to cut out another 120 feathers (ay yi yi) before I have enough to make the remaining necklaces [...] This is about half the feathered earrings I want to have on hand for City of Craft.

But I’m [...] …but I’m going to have to do up a few more licorice-whip-thin belts like this I think. This plain black belt was made super small – only a quarter inch wide. Good bye old SFTH swag! You were a good starter name for four long years.
[...] I hope you don’t get bored easily because there might be a lot of the same old, same old on here over the next couple weeks. I’m trying to manage pre-show stress levels by making loads of a dozen or so of my easier-to-put-together items for City of Craft and then working on a smaller [...] Remember this?I made one in beautiful red bridle leather. A little bit thicker and left long. I think I’m going to leave all my belts long for City of Craft and cut them to size upon purchase. Easier for all of us.
This guy has hand-set brass rivets and a brass buckle with [...] This is a design that’s been kicking around my sketchbooks for ages – the Gift-Wrapped Belt. It comes in many colours…well, ok, two so far. Made of thick beautiful bridle leather, these babies do up in the back by way of stainless steel or brass buckles, complete with roller bars to [...] |
