Workshopping up a storm...

Busy days in the workshop this week! I had been working on a commission...the locket I mentioned in the last post and just finished it this morning...it was a LOT of fun, and a real challenge too, making wise...hello hinges!!

I also had some lovely company in the studio all this past week {which is always nice for someone so used to working alone! Bouncing ideas off each other and teaching some tricks of the trade is a rather nice way to pass some time I must say...} Mister Bell {of DesireLines} was a total natural when he turned his hand to piercing, and has been making THE most charming silver characters of his own illustrations that have kept me smiling all week long...I want one of his whales something bad {and I rarely wear jewellery!}...*swoon*

So, some shots above from our antics in the workshop this week - the locket in progress and the cheeky wee darlings conjured by my studio mate!

This is the finished locket...hung on a long 120cm chain {can be doubled up}, dotted with sweet chestnut leaves {roll printed with linen and paper for a deep matt texture} and large freshwater pearls - and a pressed dome locket {akin to an old pocket watch in weight} with Eucalyptus leaf onlay. Can be worn doubled up on this chain, or full length or indeed worn on something simpler altogether as it can come on and off the chain for versatility! I'm rather pleased with it, I must say... ;)

Playlist in the studio this week has gone something like this {on repeat!} >

For the weekend...I have some more studio time scheduled along with some relaxing too, I hope. 

So, Bon weekend to all!! Hope you enjoyed this wee glimpse!
