Unique designs created by Julia
I love the warmth of copper and the look of hammered and shaped metal. I am also fascinated by the effects and colours resulting from the application of patina on metals.
I have recently been going through my bead and stone stash with the aim to create new pieces using what I already have. This was one of my aims from the #100DaysProject2022. The 100 days project 2022 has concluded for me but I have continued to see if I can apply this concept to my work.
See two examples of some recent work.
The work above has been created using traditional silversmithing techniques and modern materials such as silver clay. The leaf ring has been created using a leaf texture mould from a sage leaf from the garden. The leaf pendant is both silver clay and sterling silver sheet with a patina for effect and colour. Both have been textured.
The round earrings are textured and then domed. The wires were heated to form balls that are part of the design.
Both the pearl and the sea-glass marble have been wire-wrapped.
