Firing Copper. 1650 degrees

Copper Bracelet $20

Silver earrings $30

Silver and crocheted necklace that I made for my daughter.

More crocheted pieces using gold metallic thread. Some of the necklaces are wide widths, some are single strand and some are multi strand.

This is one of my crocheted pieces. This is using a metallic thread with glass beads and stones.

Fired the bronze clay items. They look like an antique gold when fired. Made silver pieces out of copper clay and they are drying now. Will fire those this week. I will be adding more pictures as I go.

I've added a picture of my new logo that my wonderful son-in-law designed for me.

Tell your friends and pass on my blogspot.

Thanks

I am really enjoying working with the bronze clay. I will post pictures this evening of the pieces that are firing right now. I also have a multi-piece flower bracelet waiting to be fired.

I will start working with the copper clay tomorrow. If you see a piece you like in copper or bronze and prefer it in silver, email me at designsbyaj@ymail.com and I will give you pricing on it. Silver is about 4X the cost of the bronze and copper and I have to work with it much faster.

Got to work with the Bronze clay last night. It is a little different than the silver clay. I made 3 pendants and 4 pair of earrings. I will be firing pieces this weekend as they take around 5 hours to fire and cool down. I also was able to make 2 more silver leaves that I am going to make into pins. Trying to get ready for a show on Ocotber 10.

You may email me at designsbyaj@ymail.com or call me at 630-363-0282 to place an order.

If you are looking for something special, email me a suggestion and I will see what I can design. All designs are one of a kind, unless special ordered for a special event such as a wedding.

My Blogspot

I have created this spot for all my friends who have been asking me for my web address. I will be posting pictures of new jewelry as I make it. If you want to order a piece of jewelry, email me and I will hold the piece until I receive payment for it. Right now I only accept checks or money orders for jewelry.
