I currently have this fascination with Steampunk... Now to show my age. I remember when it fist came out in the 80's and have loved it ever since. So I have decided it is time to merge an old love with a new one. Lampworking is my newest love. I have never found a media that is so unpredictable yet forgiving. I love the colors and the fire! So yesterdays venture has been long coming in my mind and I am sure there will be all sorts of variations to come.
Charms to fit the Pandora style bracelets. These are a bit different to any I have seen. They are my lampwork beads made with my shards then I have stacked the cogs and gears on top of the bead before it has been attached to the silver bail. So you can see the Steampunk influence.
I have also made some larger sets of these beads that are steampunk in their own right, for me anyway. They all have the metallic look added to them by the silver glass shards. Then there are a variety of surface decorations added to them.
I have also been working on some new designs in my jewelry range and this is what happened last night!
so.... back to the torch and waiting for the Kalypso.
