A big shout out to my other half!

With a bit of work we’ve been busy turning a rusty metal frame and an old table top into a work table for the studio.

More photos to come soon.

The new studio is coming together thanks to a lot of help from my husband.

Just hope we don’t get too distracted with the view out the window.

Hello Stanthorpe!

At long last we’ve moved and have spent the last week unpacking. Today we finally unearthed the studio boxes 😃

For the moment I’m setting the studio up in this small, but light filled room.

There’s a lot to do, not to mention working out how best to set it all up.

Moving is exhausting! So much to physically move and so many decisions to make about where everything should live.

We did at least manage to pop out for a quick lunch at @foxys.bakery in Stanthorpe. (Very yummy pies and sausage rolls.)

Watch this space for progress on the studio.

It’s just so lovely here 😃

DID YOU KNOW - You may not believe it, but these are sterling silver!

I was lucky enough to attend a workshop recently where I learnt water casting. These are the results.

Created by literally dumping molten silver into ice cold water, the silver cools so quickly that it takes on this golden colour.

Very unpredictable results, but great fun having a go and being a student for a change.

Now what to make with them 🤔

PLAY - Again these have still to be made into jewellery. These have been made by broomstick casting.

This is a new technique to me, so it was great to be taught by someone who has done it before.

Yes I know I could have googled how to do this and worked it out for myself. But it was much more fun being taught by a real person.

These are the results of pouring molten silver into a bunch of broomsticks. Somewhat unpredictable, but I love how they came out!

Now to decide what to do with them. What do you think?

PLAY - Before you ask, these are not finished pieces. They’re cuttlefish castings which have still to be made into jewellery.

Sometimes when you’ve never done something before it’s good to get a little help and just play.

I’d forgotten how much fun it is being a student for a change 😃 - especially when you have a good teacher!

These are the results. The lump of silver on the circle is the sprue (where the molten silver was poured in). The thin ‘sticks’ are the air holes. These are supposed to be cut off.

I still have to decide what to do with them. Any ideas?
