Bracelet Finally finished!!!!

So while I intended to post some back-dated sketches from this weekend that will just have to wait since I have something even better to show! I finally finished this awesome cuff bracelet I've been working on for the past half week. Ok... so it's probably about 5-6 hrs of work total (1hr due to melting it and having to repair it...) but so happy with the results! Below is a photo of it in white Sterling Silver- work in progress...

And below are photos of the finished piece after I plated it in 24K Yellow Gold and Oxidized parts of it.

"Angebrochen" Cuff Bracelet Sterling Argentium Silver 24k Yellow Gold Plated/ Oxidized Stones: Citrine -7 total

YAY!!!!.... now I will take my burnt and blistered fingers home to bed...

Wow, GORGEOUS! I love the organic feel, like it's plant tendrils curling off a branch to hold the stones...

thanks guys! side note: the title "angebrochen" is inspired by my recent broken foot. gebrochen mean broken, but angebrochen means (only starting to break) which is what the status of my right foot was last week after the groom at a wedding drunkenly danced on it. but in the end I was still able to go hiking after a week of wearing a gummy air cast... and I got a piece of jewelry made out of the whole thing too! :)

About This Blog

The BlankaDay Collective is a supportive daily practice community for artists who could use a casual venue to keep them producing. Philosophically, this is the equivalent of morning pages, whether it's morning sketches or morning poems or morning comics or morning photos or plays or videos--the primary thing is to get work out there in the world daily, not to worry too much about quality, and to check in on each other to keep each other going.

If you'd like to join our community, send mail to foolissa at gmail dot com.

How the game is played

Joining means you:

* get an author account on this blog, to post your work

* have an intention to post fresh work here daily (or on a regular schedule)

* retain your copyright on anything you post here, and can take it down/edit whenever you want

* aren't averse to occasionally commenting on your fellow artists' work, so they know someone is out there looking

* agree to abide by a fuzzily-defined code of conduct that mostly involves being nice to other people, of which Alissa is the final arbiter, and acknowledge that Alissa reserves the right to revoke your membership if you do not comply with the fairly permissive but completely subjective standards in her head. (ie don't be all "that sux, beeyotch" on anyone, don't be dropping child porn here, don't be getting all bigoted about race or gender or religion or orientation all over the place, and we're prolly cool.)
