Power Tool Play Time: August 2011

http://powertoolplaytime.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Power Tool Play Time. The Jewellery Design Process. Thursday, August 25, 2011. This is the moment when the bronze objects from the previous post were created in spectacular fashion. Poured from one seriously hot crucible. In my experience as a gold and silversmith I have found that the pieces which have taken the most struggle are the ones of which I am most proud. When Clouds become Mountains. The soft pink wax 'clouds' from the Waxen Clouds and Caverns. Wednesday, August 3, 2011. 18 Carats of ingot.

Power Tool Play Time: When Clouds become Mountains

http://powertoolplaytime.blogspot.com/2011/08/when-clouds-become-mountains.html

Power Tool Play Time. The Jewellery Design Process. Thursday, August 25, 2011. When Clouds become Mountains. The soft pink wax 'clouds' from the Waxen Clouds and Caverns. Post (all the way back in Feb) have now been cast in bronze. Now heavy both in weight and with surface oxide these small objects now appear much more like rocky crags than soft, sunset clouds. Or perhaps the lava flows which have solidified upon contact with the ocean at each such catastrophic seaside event. View my complete profile.

Power Tool Play Time: 18 Carats of ingot

http://powertoolplaytime.blogspot.com/2011/08/18-carats-of-ingot.html

Power Tool Play Time. The Jewellery Design Process. Wednesday, August 3, 2011. 18 Carats of ingot. This is my first gold perchase. This shot gives you a better idea of the scale of my first gold perchase, heheh. Fortunately my mum had some old gold jewellery she nolonger wares and was happy for me to add this to my 2g of 24ct gold. I then balanced out the mix with some fresh copper and fine silver in order to keep the alloy at 18ct. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Power Tool Play Time: Waxen Clouds & Caverns

http://powertoolplaytime.blogspot.com/2011/02/waxen-clouds-caverns.html

Power Tool Play Time. The Jewellery Design Process. Sunday, February 13, 2011. Waxen Clouds and Caverns. These are images of my recent play with wax. They show examples of two very immediate techniques for working with wax: Water Casting and Dipping. Water casting requires the maker to let go of the end result and allow the materials to take over most of the formation process. The experience is wonderfully liberating.

Power Tool Play Time: May 2012

http://powertoolplaytime.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Power Tool Play Time. The Jewellery Design Process. Tuesday, May 1, 2012. Whilst wondering through Rome, I happened upon this man, busking on the pathway in a very unusual way. He was carving the most exquisite small scale sculptures from carrots. Is the demand for woodcarving so low in Europe that the craft has been reduced to a street curiosity, no matter how amazing? Unfortunately I'll never know. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Jewellery for the Body. Sites I think are great.
