Beautiful fairy wing jewellery. No fairies were harmed in the making of this jewellery.

I’ve been super busy making theses over the past couple of days. They are so fun to make and they seem to take on a life of their own as I coil and twist the wire around them.

They’re all listed in my Shop.

Pendants that don’t fit into any of the main categories.

I’ve always loved the steampunk style and thought it was about time to have a go at making something in that style. This is the first time I’ve tried making matching items. I’m not sure I’ll have a go at earrings in this style as they would be so heavy they’d probably give you long ears after wearing them for a day!

I thought it was about time that I started making some earrings. I’ve put it off as a, I don’t wear them myself so I don’t really know what works or not, and b, making two things exactly the same is quite a challenge! With some of these I have combined my usual copper with a coated copper wire that is ‘Gun Metal’ colour. I like how they look together!
One thing I realised when photographing these is that I need to get an iron for my backgrounds before I photo them to list them in my shop! I melted my last iron and that was ages ago, I don’t really iron anything I wear, just shake the creases out!

I am so happy with how these have turned out. They’re made from copper wire and resin. There are quite a few stages to the making process but it was totally worth it! I’ve listed a few in my shop http://www.artfire.com/users/starpixie.

After a post all copper pendants I thought I would follow with just a hint of colour. As some of you may already have noticed, turquoise and greeny colours are my favourite to use with copper. They just work so well together and make a great addition to a wire piece.

As much as I love using beautiful beads, I’m really drawn to create pieces entirely from copper. There are so many different tones and colours that it works well alone. I spent a lot of my evenings with just some pliers and wire, seeing what happens.

I’ve been looking for different ways to incorporate shells into my jewellery. I think they fit in well with the lovely copper tones and I’m really happy with how these have turned out.

In a class at Shiney Rocks we made a flower necklace out of thin wire. I used the same idea to make it in my own style with thicker copper wire. I tried a few variations by adding more petals.

I put them on a 2.5mm copper wire choker.
