Some of you may have seen the photos from my trips to Iceland. It was a mysterious and inspiring place that has left a big mark on how I look at things. During my travels I came upon numerous interesting plants, rocks, and other detritus that I attempted to collect. A feather here, a glass-like piece of lava rock there, and various bones from birds, fish, and even a seal. These are the beginnings of a new step towards making whatever the hell I feel like, without limitations (aside from financial or time limits), exploring the act of just creating.
This first piece I envisioned as being hung on the wall next to my bed so I could hang either necklaces or my engagement ring. Now that it's made though I don't think it works that well in that way so I'm going to have to find another use for it. I'm thinking of making some sort of abstract jewelry piece to hang from the two fish teeth. Yes, those are teeth from a fish.
Next up, more fish teeth. Spencer and I tore this piece of jaw off a dried out fish head we found on the beach in Iceland. I have no idea what kind of terrifying fish this was but I've never seen anything like it. I went for a nice elegant silver chain and kept it simple.
Finally, a necklace for Spence. This is just some random bone I found on the beach. Again, very simple- Just drilled a couple holes in it, braided some linen string and threaded it through there. I think it came out pretty cool looking.
So that's all for now folks. I hope you like my new little creations. The craft store had a big sale and I got some cool new supplies that I'm excited to work with, so hopefully more to come soon!
