Yes, it's true--I have a one-track mind these days and am completely hooked on making stuff with embossed and painted metal. It's just like magic when I emboss the metal and then mix colors of paint to create wonderful swirls and rainbows. It's way too much fun to stop!
So I've got two earring and pendant sets in process--different shapes and different color palettes. The first has my favorites--the blues/greens/purples...
I love the look of the colors against the background of the copper, which also gives the pieces strength. Here's a closeup of the pendant...
I got more adventurous with shapes in the next set I made...
This set has luscious greens and reminds me of the range of colors on a walk in the woods. Here's a closeup of this pendant...
I'll most likely finish these sets with handmade fine silver chains...but then again, I might just add some beads to be different! Who knows? So stay tuned for the finished products!
Oh! by the way...I've had inquiries from lots of people wanting to know if these pieces are for sale...of course they are! I can also make brooches for those who like to make a statement on a lapel. I'm selling these pieces direct, so if you're interested, give me a holler, and we'll talk.
Ciao!
Deborah
