Sharon is totally engrossed in working on new designs so she suggested I take on our blog and keep our follwers and customers informed about what we are doing.
Neither of us seem to thrive in the winter these days. But now buds are bursting in the garden and the days are getting longer we are starting to feel quite lively!
Sharon is working on a range of copper and silver jewellery. The copper details give a feeling of warmth that goes nicely with silver's magical, lunar aura. Some of these designs are already on the stall. So please come and have a look. I'll put some pics on here in a day or two.
We are looking at ways to get a verdigris finish on the copper and are messing about with ammonia, salt, vinegar and few other substances to see what kind of effects we can obtain. We decided not to follow the Rodin route. He, apparently, encouraged his students to urinate on his sculptures in order to give them a nice green patina. His students were, presumably, male.
