New Jewelry Pieces!

Mar 14, 2009 23:30

It's been a while since I made any metal jewelry (or anything else remotely artistic for that matter). So when I went home for midterm break a few weeks back, I made a few new pieces upon a friend's request. Unfortunately, my hands have the injuries to prove it...and...my friend doesn't like them X_X"

Anyways! *stops self before rambling*

Wow those are GORGEOUS. O_o Why doesn't your friend like them? I love that second one w/ the little blue stone. I'm such a sucker for fluid-looking metal pieces like that. :3

Oh Thank You! I think it's because I made the first two a little too big? In any case, I'm probably going to attempt to re-make them for her if I have the time...

I mean.. I don't even know HOW you do it ♥ or for that matter, how your friend can't like this. I'm so surprised, it seriously looks like something people would pay a lot of money for. I don't even know where to go for custom jewelry like this. :(

Thanks! *neon sign = order custom jewelry here* I guess she has high standards? Apparently my pieces are kind of like arts-and-craft projects ^^"

I really like the first two. :O They are really pretty~

I like the rain one too! Shiinnyyyyy. *_*

Thank you! It only took...an hour to polish? Haha...

I like the teardrop one the best too! And producing shiny custom made is such a cool idea with lots of potential.

The best part is the curvey pointed ends in the middle of the hourglass.

As for critique?
hnnn... The rounded ones (like the teardrop one) looks better than the flat pieces, just because jewlery don't tend to be flat unless it's for cosplay. In which case, many of them are flat and exaggerated in size.

....which might be the problem with the first one... judging by your neckline... that piece is 2 inches tall??

I know, I know, but "Rain" was made from wire, but the hourglass is made from sheet metal~ Obviously if I had more time, I would have preferred a wax cast or something...

Like cosplay jewelry *falls* It's about 1.5" tall, the angle of the photo exaggerates the size~

...ehhhhh. Wasn't it silver that you used?

One of these days, you should totally write a tutorial and show us the amount of work needed for one of these oieces.

^^ nya?~
