Oxidized Cherries
All ..... That...... JAZZ!
Party Around the Clock
Some materials I’ve been toying with. I was vending at a small convention over the weekend, and I made a few new things for it.
The first is titanium scales. I’ve been making flame-colored bracelets for a while, which are the three on the left. (The darker one I tried heating from the back, to see if I could get or liked a more even coloration. It was pretty consistent, but it wasn’t a very interesting color. Oh well.) Recently I got anodized titanium scales, which are absolutely beautiful. These ones were made with a random assortment of colors, which I rather enjoyed. I need to get some more photos of them, then they’ll go up on my Etsy page. So far I’ve just got green anodized listed.
Below is two bronze necklaces. The pattern is a very tight spiral weave configuration referred to as Jens Pind Linkage. Bronze is fun to me because it oxidizes so nicely. The shiny one is brand new, freshly woven, and the dark one is after 2 weeks of continual wear. I think it’s mostly reached a steady color now? It darkened most of the way within a few days.
Bronze scale mail bracelets. The thick one is fresh and shiny, and just shipped out. The thinner one I made for the last convention I was selling at, and it's starting to show some oxidation. I think bronze is fun largely because of how it patinas over time.
Gonna re-work the etsy listings for these bracelets to make the options more clear. Here’s the revised one for bronze, next I’ll do steel.
