The Eloi strike back!

It’s been a mad few months, what with getting ‘boss woman’ off to Uni and settling into a new routine. However I have finally managed to put a few early bits of jewellery onto Flickr, and have already had some nice comments back. Thank you!

I was struck a few weeks ago with mad inspiration for some ‘Victorian steampunk/ Cyberpunk’ beads which I worked like an obsessed demon on. The result are… well, interesting??? Lots of encased copper coils and strange shapes, imagine what might be the components and valves for HG Well’s Time Traveller. Doubtless after a few years of him bringing civilization to the Eloi they would have got sick of having to work for a living and would have smashed up the time machine. Maybe they would they would have used the parts to make jewellery? In the cold light of day I am not so sure about them, but last night began threading them onto an equally mad necklace. When I feel brave I shall pop a picture on here.

I have also made some sensible beads as well, I overdid it with the silver on the Lava bead necklace, I just need to be able to take better pictures to show up the insides as the goldstone just doesn’t show up in the pictures. I also have been playing with off-mandrel glass, I have so much new stuff I really have to get some more pictures taken!
