This round, I decided to make my picks from just one of our subscriber galleries: the enamels & glass gallery!
I'm enamored with this Ladybug pendant posted by mirslavu. The stylized design and clever idea to turn the antennae into a bail is fabulous.
And how about this trio of fun and fresh rings by Helga van Leipsig? I had the pleasure of meeting Helga at the 2008 PMC conference. If you've read the January 2010 issue of AJ,
then Helga's work is familiar to you. In her project article, "Emblazon
Fine Silver with Crisp Ceramic Decals" she demonstrates how to bond a
permanent layer of color to metal in your kiln!
"Woven Ice Bracelet" posted by xkwisitlady
(Tahmi) combines medieval fingerweaving and fused glass elements. More
of Tahmi's inventive designs inspired by textile techniques are
pictured on her website.
Thank you for sharing your work with the Art Jewelry community. Be sure to check back next week for another trifecta of Friday Highlights!
Cheers, Jill :)
