Last week I set myself a recycling challenge – to make a new piece of handmade silver jewellery using only silver from my scrap pot.
Hmmm, how to turn this lot into something nice to wear……
After a good old rummage, I found a few pieces of silver that looked promising and decided to texture them with a spring theme of tiny flowers.
To those of you who know me , it’s no surprise that I chose to make rings – (I’m fairly obsessed with them), but instead of my trademark silver cocktail rings, I opted for the spring flowery theme instead.
4 silver rings later and I thought, perhaps it was time for some silver earrings….. again using the same tiny flower texture on them.
I enjoyed my recycling challenge so much, I think I will have to do it again – perhaps next time you guys can suggest a theme for me to work to…?
Lovely work, really like the flower imprint texture, very sweet. Maybe a leaves theme for an Autumn collection? 🙂
these are all really lovely Jo great work
Thank you for the lovely comments 🙂
Really enjoyed doing this, and with silver being so expensive it’s a good exercise in these tough times 🙂
This is a great idea and I know at least one person who would love to have some jewellary made from eco silver.
