November Challenge-TEXTILES
Cynthia Kurth/ Schmuckburg
To give the silver a structure, I pressed it with various old lace doilies through the roller.
With some handmade stamps and the spinner rings, which also look like cords, there are great patterns.

The first, a fossil coral piece that reminds me of old Japanese silk kimono textiles. The second is a forged pendant with a dinosaur bone, here the ruffle in the silver reminds me of tulle. This was a great challenge!
Su Trindle/Quercus Silver
The Hem Stitch Brooch: It is the latest in a series of pieces which celebrate the fun I had learning to sew when I was young. It gave me a lifelong love of making.
Materials: Sterling Silver and resin.

Monthly Challenge- Chainmaking
Our October challenge was to experiment with chainmaking. This month didn't need to be a finished product but we do have two gorgeous bracelets that were completed. Chainmaking is such an intriguing challenge, there is so much that can be done. Enjoy and I hope we have inspired you to make some chain of your own.
Laura Bouton
This is a handmade curb chain with a little turquoise heart. Chain making is one of my favorite techniques.
Elise Worman
The photo is of a few sample pieces with different finishes on two different chain types I made. The double U shape sideways is a cast element from a wax I carved. I've been wanting to make this bracelet for a while, so thanks for this challenge! The second is hammered silver circles soldered together to make a unique statement chain with so many possibilities. Great challenge!
Cynthia Kurth
I am very fascinated by chain weaving, it's so great what structures are made of wire. The second pic is a great sampler of multiple chain types.

I tried to make some chains that would match earring designs I've been working on lately.
Michele Grady
This is actually 2 chains that are connected together at the moment. They can be worn as 1 long chain or as 2 individual shorter chains.

Spring is my favorite season! As a gardener It is time to plant seeds and watch them pop through the soil and grow. I love to watch the garden come alive again after the long winter sleep.
Cynthia Kurth
Look what Cynthia "found" in her studio!! That's the cutest darn bug I've ever seen.
Debbie Ritchie
Here's a little flower with a springy green serpentine !
