Blue Wire Bracelet

This is a bracelet I realised I couldn't sell after I'd taken photos of it for Etsy. I wept tears of liquid tragedy when I realised it had a break in it. I don't think it's visible here - it was small.

I mucked around with the contrast in the pictures a bit, given that I'm not posting them on Etsy - these open wire jewellery pieces of mine are fun to photograph (sad but true). I like the potential for depth.



Because I'd knitted it of a thicker gauge of wire, it held its shape in waves when laid flat:


A pretty effect, thanks very much! I was on the verge of cutting it up and re-using the beads - they're antique Japanese seed beads - but decided it deserved to live and not be hacked to pieces, even though it's not for Etsy. I wove a bit more wire over the break, so it's good enough for me to wear. It's turned out to be a decent wee marketing tool. I am practically a billboard. Now all I need is a picture of a naked person taped to it, to better draw the eye.

Avine Irony

Imposters to the apple tree, casually feasting and looking pretty ironic. Check out the body language here. A person almost feels slighted.


For all my heartache over the loss of apples, it was quite touching how close they let me get. They just looked me over with the resigned air of fabulous beauties accustomed to admiration.
