#anodisedaluminium #colourfuljewellery #abstract #jewellery #bangle #cuff #wearableart #adjustablebracelet #lightweightjewellery Lightweight adjustable pink Trajectory bangle. Also availalbe in other colours. Please contact me if you would like more info.
 Small domed earrings (1.5cm diameter) in purple and green, cut from the painted metal sheet. Aluminium is very lightweight so these are very easy and comfortable to wear.
   VCJ are looking for a reliable jewellery outworker who has a good eye for design and attention to detail to help with the production of new collections. The jewellery is made from anodised aluminium and duties include cutting, filing, polishing and forming bangles, earrings, pendants, rings, hair slides etc to a high standard. Please visit the website to see the kinds of pieces that require making www.verycolourfuljewellery.com
The painted aluminium sheets are posted out with instructions of what’s needed for making up, eg bangles, earrings etc. Payment is £2 per piece, except earrings which are £2.50 per pair. (I can make approximately 6+ bangles in an hour, earrings take a bit longer hence the increased rate.) Please note, this is not a full-time position and the amount of work can go up and down throughout the year. It would be ideal for someone who wants some extra work that can fit around their everyday life. Applicants need to be UK based but precise location is not important as work can be sent by post. For further information please message me with details of your experience and availability to mirandapeckitt@btinternet.com Artist of the month
I was so pleased to be asked to contribute to the local magazine, Hurst Life, this month as Artist of the Month. It's a great magazine who are keen to promote local people, news and events. You can read the full version here https://www.hurstlife.co.uk/  Without giving away too many trade secrets, here's an insight into how I make some of the earrings... Once the colours have been sealed in and the metal is fully dry they're cut out using a piercing saw. This leaves some rough edges so they're filed and sanded using different grades of paper to remove any sharp edges and burrs giving a lovely smooth edge. To add that little bit extra sparkle they're polished and finally formed into a curved design ready to go to their new owner. Some can be more complicated to make than others and you can see more earring creations here. Did you know they can also be made as clip on earrings if you haven't found the courage to have your ears pierced yet!  It will be warm again soon and our wrists will be out again.
