3xR 50 and 51: Remnant Dangles

I had to keep these two under wraps for week or so since they were waiting under a tree! Surprise surprise... two more from the Remnant Collection! These dangles were inspired by a pair I made earlier in the project. To see the process for these pieces check out the week 34 post.

Copper and Sterling Silver

Only one week left! I can't believe this project is coming to an end. I have a feeling this wont be the last of the Remnant pieces and next week I think I'm going to have to go big!

3xR week 49: Remnant Cuff

Billowing clouds? The wing of a bat? What do you see in the layers of this mixed metal piece?

Some of this scrap was gifted to me by a fellow beginning jewelry (2005!) student last week over drinks and the best cranberry crusted goat cheese platter (OK there was some other cheese on the platter as well, but who knows what it was) in the entire world I'm sure.

Other pieces were scavenged from my scrap bin and transformed into something quite lovely that is already on its way to Tasmania (Oh alright, I could have just said Australia, but Tasmania is more fun)!

3xR week 48: Remnant Pendants

I was so happy with the pendant from week 47 that I just couldn't help myself.

After creating several new pieces from the Orbital and Eyelet Lace collections in the past two weeks I had a fantastic amount of scrap to choose from. 

Paired and sanded

I have to say, I enjoy the aesthetics of these pieces throughout every step of the process. 

Soldered

As usual I couldn't help but play favorites.
