Sneak peek at my latest enameling project: plique-à-jour earrings. Nearly done.

I will be taking jewelry metalsmithing again for the last time this summer. Remember those garnets I brought before, I finally know what I will do for my next project, which is a bracelet. I have an old bracelet I never finished and will somehow squeeze a ring before class is done. SOMEHOW. I will be taking a short enameling class before I am done for jewelry class for a while.

Finished the draft. It took forever to do. Will post a color version later.

More WIPs for future projects. Top one is for a necklace, the bottom is for a bracelet.

My newest project. I’m reaching for a summery island feel. At first I was going to make the flowers fuchsia but after falling in love with this Island Breeze drink at Island Salad in Harlem (on the corner of 131st and Lenox Ave, btw), I decided that I would decided that I will based it on the lovely colors of this drink instead~!

My first finished enamel pendant. Real proud of it, one done in natural light, the othe with a little photo shoot kit that my family member let me borrow.

Another enameling project preview. This time, it’s a pendant done in champleve~! It looks horrid right now but it will be a beaut when done.

WIP of my enameling project. I swear to catch up on my WIP diary soon. It’s obvious what it is~!
