A place for me to document my progress with my wirework. etsy.com/shop/chaboudesigns Message me if interested in a custom or something you've seen posted :) As this is my business account, please only message related to my art. I am in a happy and committed relationship.
Hi Tumblr, it's been a while. I haven't been doing much wirework, but I did buy some gems, minerals, shells, etc for some potential new pieces. I'm going to post some now.
Here's some jade. Don't mind my snorlax beanbag in the background.
These are some of my most favorite pieces to date. I'm learning more and more all the time. It feels like I could learn forever and that couldn't be more exciting.
I have been playing around with various polishing techniques. These pendants were oxidized fairly heavily. Then, I buffed and polished them using my rotary tool with various ends. I might prefer a darker overall look in the future, but I ended liking the stark contrast of the highly polished copper vs the dark patina caught in the crevasses.
Updates for my shop are on hold for a bit as I get settled into my new job and new home in Colorado. Would love to be able to do this full-time one day. If interested in anything, just shoot me a message :)
These pendants humbly encase a gorgeous gemmy agate, a dark green tourmaline and lovely lab-grown opal, and snowflake obsidian. I hope to get better photos of them soon so I can really show off the gorgeous minerals and gems.
If this made it to your feed somehow, thanks for reading.
