Today, has been designated as Silver Day for quite some time but as with last week, I’ve had to reschedule my work pattern again. So, I’m multi tasking (a bit) with some Silver jobs and juggling the other live projects in my current portfolio. Top of my list is the Stitched Story Project and I’d like to develop something inspired by the Jessie Chorley bow pins (top right image). Some time ago, I made the Silver pins (top left) as an experiment and the pins have been waiting for a special moment to be used. The moment has arrived ! My plan is to use the pins to develop a form of bow with some kind of hanging element. I’m not sure exactly how this will turn out ? but I’ll spend some time testing out some ideas today.
The Small & Simple Range, from my regular Silver work is ongoing. I’ve make lots of progress but will explore more samples as per the circled example (see bottom left image). The idea looks very simple, the design involves simply bending wire. However, it’s key to get the angles right and my previous experiments are not quite there. Because the design is so simple the finish needs to be perfect. Each bend needs to be tight and the finish, polished. I’m still working on organising the professional photo shoot for the Collection. More to share on that, soon.
My other little task today is to turn some of the La Patisserie Project charms into stitch markers for my knitting projects. You can see more about this project if you read back over the blog posts. I have quite a few spare charms, leftover from samples, so I can develop a great little stash of stitch markers.
Hopefully, I can have one or two of the stitch markers in use by the end of the day.
Thanks for calling in today. I’ll be back tomorrow.
