Lunaria - handmade jewellery: Mixed media pendant and locket in progress
http://lunariajewellery.blogspot.com/2015/06/mixed-media-pendant-and-locket-in.html
Friday, 12 June 2015. Mixed media pendant and locket in progress. Remember I wrote some time ago about making a locket? Well, I'm making a third attempt right now, and that one looks like it may actually get finished :) The first attempt became rubbish pretty quickly, the second. wasn't looking that bad until. So, here it is:. Still a lot to do, but I like it. As for the mixed media pendant. I was reading something, someone mentioned mixed media jewellery, someone else was complaining how they've got...

Lunaria - handmade jewellery: April 2015
http://lunariajewellery.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, 23 April 2015. Torches, charcoal blocks, soldering boards, lockets in progress and a whole heaps of plans. Right I've been absent from the blog for over a month, I didn't show promised cuff pictures. bad blog owner! Here, have a picture (with my little iroda for comparison):. By the way, my table is not that messy when I'm actually soldering something. It runs, as you can see, on butane/propane mix, and reaches 1750. And the beginning of a locket on my new charcoal block (I haven't used it yet,...

brigibead.blogspot.com: Megint szombat!
http://brigibead.blogspot.com/2012/05/megint-szombat.html
2012 május 5., szombat. Megint szombat, és újra blog! Vásáron voltunk. Krisztivel árultunk! Utólagos engedélyével őt, és munkáit is láthatjátok a képeken. Falvédő, ami a sártat védi. Hát, röviden ennyi. Volt nagy siker, sok dicséret, és sajnos rossz, rossz idő. Zápor, zivatar, hideg, és kevés vásárló. Azt hiszem, minden kézművesnek át kell esni egy ilyen eseményen, azaz a tűzkeresztségen. Nos, ez volt az inspiráció. S ez lett belőle:). A reklám helye, de tényleg szép lett! Ha itt keresel: " Brigi66".

Lunaria - handmade jewellery: Playing with titanium
http://lunariajewellery.blogspot.com/2015/06/playing-with-titanium.html
Monday, 29 June 2015. Last Friday I did something very, very out of character for me: I bought something on an impulse. I never buy stuff impulsively. Never, ever. And this one time I did. I ordered some titanium. Yes, titanium. A small piece: 2.54cm x 15.24cm, and 0.4mm thick. I was really surprised when it was delivered today: talk about fast shipping! The monster. aka small, thin titanium strip. Anyway, since Friday I was wondering if I will be able to even cut it, as titanium is notoriously hard.

Lunaria - handmade jewellery: March 2015
http://lunariajewellery.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Monday, 16 March 2015. Sooo today I got my 0.9mm copper sheet order (and if I like making cuffs I will have to place another, bigger, one) and just had to start experimenting with making an etched cuff straightaway! Here it is after filing, smoothing out and rounding the edges. And drawing rough outlines of running wolves. Sorry for the bad picture. And yes, I did smooth and straighten it a bit, but there are still some bumps that wouldn't go away without softening the copper a bit. Links to this post.

Wednesday, 17 December 2014. How NOT to anneal wires. I could title this post also "Why you shouldn't lose focus while annealing " or maybe "Why you shouldn't anneal wires when you're tired". This won't be a long post. I've decided to make not only the tree earrings. Oh, damn, it's not swelling, I've just melted it.". And that is why you should never lose focus while annealing ;P. I'm just glad it wasn't the whole piece. Just after the annealing fail. After pickling for better view. Links to this post.

Lunaria - handmade jewellery: September 2015
http://lunariajewellery.blogspot.com/2015_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 1 September 2015. Sorry, couldn't help myself ;). I decided to take a break from casting, and finish several designs that were waiting to be done. Two of those were otter-themed, hence the tittle ;P. Let's get straight to it. Remember the wolf cuff from previous post? Well, it's finished, added to my shop, and waiting for a new owner. I also made a second cuff, one I wanted to make for quite some time, but always something other got in the way. Well, I finally made it: Megaloceros giganteus.

Sunday, 19 July 2015. Drilling through titanium is not so scary, after all! Remember I've got some titanium and was having loads of fun flame-colouring it, and a bit less fun wearing saw blades down like crazy? Well, I've finished one pendant (the other one is aaaalmost finished). As it turned out, drilling was pretty easy. I fell in love with diamond drill bits, and would happily use them for anything, if only the weren't so expensive! I makes drilling (and engraving) much easier! The copper part is of ...
