The one-hole bead on each fine silver earring is suspended from a wire with a balled end. The two sides of the beads have different textures. Because of the pivot action on the wire, the beads on these earrings move around a lot as you wear them. Fun to play with when you wear them, but even if you don’t touch them, they like to fidget on their own!
They’re in the mail right now on their way to Red Dot Gallery on Deer Isle. Opening for the season on Friday, May 18.

And the photo cube. Before I priced pieces to send off to Red Dot Gallery on Deer Isle, I took the time to experiment some more with my new photo set up. I love having so much light available at the flick of a switch. What a concept.
It was interesting to see how different background colors and prop colors affected the feel of the photos, especially when the pieces were more colorful. (as opposed to being all silver) Here are just a few of the shots I took today:
Translucent Pardo polymer clay, colored with alcohol ink, embedded silver.
Stick or plexiglass rod? Which do you think works better? I waffle….
More translucent Pardo with embedments.
Same plexiglass rod, but different background colors. Bronze and copper metal clay.
Seaham Beach sea glass, fine silver PMC beads, Sue Kennedy lamp work beads:

The necklace I worked on today is a combination of handmade lampworked beads, (bought from *artists on Etsy) local beach rocks, my own fine silver PMC beads and some local bits of sea glass.
