Hello, my friend!
And here I am with new earrings with my favourite blue patina.
I showed you details that I made of copper and created a fabulous textured patina of different shades of blue. Indeed, photos can't reflect oll the beauty of this patina!
Unfortunately, one pair of details was spoiled by my baby-son.
But two others became splendid dangling earrings in Bohemian style. I hope they will find their beautiful owner and will bring my joy to her ) Both are available in my Etsy shop.
The first set of earrings. Here I used domed rhombus copper details. I wanted so much to use these bright blue amazonite beads. But when I put them together with copper details, I saw that I need something else. Something to add movement and space. I recalled that I've got beautiful jumpring links made of twisted copper wire and - Hey Presto! - the earrings are ready!
The second set of earings. Here I used details in the shape of crescent moon. I also domed them a bit and oxidized to get blue patina. In the beginning I made a wrapping without loops for dangles but the earrings demanded for some additions. I thought what to add - gems or glass beads, how many and so on. And my brother told me just one word: chains! Sure!!!! Of course, I had to re-make the wrapping, but now it was clear what to do :-)
In the end of chains I added small green-blue azurite beads which suit so good to this patina.
Back side is well polished and covered with valnish to protect shiny copper.
I love both these patina sets, so, I guess, there will be definitely new jewelry in this technique!
