mine is going to be late. i've been running around in almost all my spare time for the last week looking at apartments so i can move. and it's exhausting. ugh. i'll post mine tomorrow morning. i'm taking the morning off to work in the studio and get caught up on emails. don't think i've answered one since friday. oh, and i have a cold. wtf? who gets a cold in june? argh.
other people are better at time management than me, though.
This challenge was to take inspiration from a famous historical look. Rachelle took her inspiration from greek goddess.This piece is a sterling silver and brass frame filled with iron wire, resin, and gold glass micro spheres.
and nina took inspiration from the greek goddess.
The earrings I made are inspired by ancient Greece, Mycenae. One of the motifs I saw while looking up the jewelry of this period was the coil. I used copper because that was what was at hand, and the geeks did use copper, but I see these coils in bronze or gold more likely.
lora hart meshed time periods together. (edit. i can't get lora's pictures to save right. not sure what i'm doing wrong, but go to the link. i really love that she used bronze! i'll try to fix this later. i'm sorry.)
One a Week jewelry making challenge based on Project Runway. Design a piece inspired by either Greek, Gypsy, Marie Antoinette, Punk or Flapper fashion. I chose a hybrid of Greek and Flapper. My necklace isn't quite a long as a flapper's, but It's my interpretation anyway. For the bronze pieces wet clay was arranged with my fingers (using no under structure) to give the illusion of the draped fabric used as toga's in ancient Greece.The coral stands in for Flapper-esque pearls, wired to symbolize a gladiator's chariot wheels.
i'll have mine up in the morning. and experimetal's too!
