brooch
This week I did a 4 day class making jewellery. It is the first time I have ever done any jewellery making and I had such a wonderful time! This was my first project - a brooch, my design using copper, brass and silver rivets.
During the week we learnt all the basic techniques and I managed to make a total of 3 rings and a small pendant as well as this brooch. I am hooked!
It is a nice contrast from working in fabric - I have also made a couple of small pieces that I have in mind for sewing onto a small quilt so the 2 processes will be complimentary!
I will post my other pieces soon!

This is lovely. I like the shape you have chosen.
So you will be mixing this with fabric...looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
This is absolutely stunning. Congratulations. I love mixed metals. And your design is perfectly simple and elegant. Well done.
well done. jewellery making is very satisfying is it not? I can see the inspiration for this broach in your leaf prints. Looking forward to seeing the other pieces.
What a nice piece. I too, thought it looked like the inspiration might have come from some of your quilted work.
Thanks for all your wonderful feedback - especially as I haven't posted for a while!
I love that I will get inspiration for jewellery from my textile work.
