studio news - silver disc earstuds

 Post earrings, silver textured and blackened.

 to polish after oxidizing I use powder - made by rasping a pumice stone which I brought from Santorini many years ago. This procedure makes a beautiful, mat surface.

these raw ear dangles are available in my etsy shop Wandsilber

Silver jewelry ..now in my reopened, little "wandsilber" shop on etsy!

a second chance for my tiny "art shop" on etsy.... I didn´d find a suitable place for my silver earrings so far, as they aren't corresponding to my donauluft bead jewelry concept , so I decided to reopen my silver shop to get them presented in a more appropriate way.

voila: some of these are listed....raw, unique jewelry with an industrial impression, mainly made of recycled silver which piles up in my studio.

 my raw silver jewelry is not designed for the opera ball or the white tie invitation, but a cool way to smarten up your every day outfit!

these aren't listed, they are mine,  maybe too raw, but I love this impro touch!

studio news

It´s time to recycle some silver scrap!

and this time I tried to make real sheet silver out of my scrap (which almost overstrained my plate roll ).

melting in the charcoal , hammering, intermediate annealing, rolling out repeatedly, and in the end - sheet silver !

The real snowflakes won´t be long in coming... in the meanwhile here are some snowflakes that won´t melt.

first impressions

Studio news!

At the moment I totally enjoy to create artwork for my brand new art shop on Etsy!

ok, it will be my brand new art shop in September 2014! (opening date: 1. September)

 Two unfinished objects  - additional working steps needed!

I have done those "silver pictures" since many years from time to time, and I also love to create jewelry, using similar techniques, but now I decided to offer some of these miniatures here in a separate shop, cause it would not fit my beadwork.
The idea of offering a limited edition of  "wall silver" (Wandsilber ! ) here on etsy is something I ´ve thought about for some time, but now the time has come to give it a try ....

studio news - scrap necklace

silver recycling - this time I had fun creating a necklace !

pure silver....

Sticking most of the wires and loops into the melting silver nuggets, I used very little silver solder for this.

                            
It is a short collier around the neck....

                       

                           

...but  can be worn also as a long necklace, which is my favorite styling.

one of a kind - , sculptural and a little bit crazy, .....

rings for men

To answer a request I make some big sized silver rings .

Soldering silver scrap on a ring band, every ring becomes unique

...to be finished tomorrow (hopefully!)

some interesting materials to play around with : rolled copper sheets, structured sheets and grid..

...foggy and cold... great studio weather!
have a great weekend!
