A wire cuff sure to make a bold statement. A large green silver foil square focal is surrounded by a mixture of green, blue, silver and silver wired beads. Two blue enamel butterflys complete the mix and add that extra bit of interest.
I guess you just know where you should stop taking pictures sometimes. During a walk around a lake I arrived at the dam, and something told me just not to walk any farther.
I made this! Starting from basic dead soft silver wire, I made all the rings and the clasp, and soldered the whole thing. I took a soldering class (starsbeads.com) last weekend. Lots of fun and somewhat different from electronics soldering. Sorry, picture not focused well.
"The Royal Menagerie is first referenced during the reign of Henry III. In 1251, the sheriffs were ordered to pay fourpence a day towards the upkeep for the King's polar bear; the bear attracted a great deal of attention from Londoners when it went fishing in the Thames. In 1254, the sheriffs were ordered to subsidise the construction of an elephant house at the Tower. The exact location of the medieval menagerie is unknown, although the lions were kept in the barbican known as Lion Tower. The royal collection was swelled by diplomatic gifts including three leopards from the Holy Roman Emperor. By the 18th century, the menagerie was open to the public; admission cost three half-pence or the supply of a cat or dog to be fed to the lions. The last of the animals left in 1835, relocated to Regents Park, after one of the lions was accused of biting a soldier. The Keeper of the Royal Menagerie was entitled to use the Lion Tower as a house for life. Consequentially, even though the animals had long since left the building, the Lion Tower was not demolished until the last keeper's death in 1853.
During 2011 an exhibition was hosted at the Tower with fine wire sculptures by Kendra Haste."
Wire wool inside a whisk attached to rope and spun. Taken during an evening out with Garforth Camera Club at the skate park in Garforth. Three pictures stacked on top of each other and the hue changed to create the different colours.
Wire wrapped lavender beach glass pendant, hanging from hand forged sterling silver that has been wire wrapped with seed pearls, silver seahorse and finished off with sea shells and a hand made clasp.
Shortly after this picture was taken, slightly less shortly after this situation was discovered by Brian, Brian pulled all my wires out and organized them with zip ties and nerd magic. Looking at this photo, I'm actually kind of proud of my PC for never catching on fire.
Hard to understand nobody has come up with a better design for these junctions! And this is in one of the loveliest streets in Northcote Point!
Our neighbourhood has underground power - no lines
I love complex or random patterns, and this pair of telephone poles gave me just just that. I liked the dynamics of the scene.
