taking the plunge

Posted in Sketches at 11:52 am by Jen

Well, I’m going to do it.  I am going to buy everything I need to set up my own jewelry studio at home.  I have been going crazy lately not being able to make things; I have designed a few things.  I think I want to do more with marriage of metals.  Here are the sketches I have made:

Necklace design in two color schemes: These are made as a set of pendants that I will put together into one necklace, probably with handmade chain as the base.

I made the top version first, but then I designed the bracelet and liked the color scheme, and so redid the colors on the necklace so they would match; I may make both versions if I like how the other one turns out, tho.

This bracelet takes multiple panels and connects them with square silver wire (obviously, this is how it will look flat before it is bent into shape):

And of course, being who I am, I have to try making a tiger brooch.  If this one works out well, I will probably do a series of different animals:

Hope you enjoy the sketches; I will probably make up more designs soon in my free time.  Once I get my desk & equipment, I will be working on multiple pieces at once and trying to build up an inventory.
