WCC 8/52 - Bronze Jalien Alpha

 

This weeks critter is another Jalien!! He is Bronze Jalien Alpha and is a Goldie Bronze pendant set with a 3mm lab ruby.

 

When I fired him and took him out of the kiln he came out with the most wonderful kiln patina, in the photo below. I did debate keeping this finish but when I put a sealer on it the colours dulled a bit, and also I worry that the high spots will wear smooth anyway and ruin the look. So he was duly polished and with a heat patina applied came out as above - and I really like him! )

 

Here is his poem - short but sweet!! lol

Have fun!! :)

WCC 6/52 - Under the Moon

 

Now this weeks critter is an interesting one!

 

Here we have (I thought!!) a cute little owl sitting under the moon. He is fine silver made using Art Clay Silver and has 2mm orange cubic zirconium eyes.

 

BUT - I posted him onto Facebook and everyone was seeing a green man/ grumpy man with a moustache!! Do you see him? I really struggled till someone told me exactly how he was, and now I see him!!

 

It just goes to show - we should always have our eyes open to all interpretations in life :)

 

Anyway on the basis of this being an owl...

here is his poem...

 

In the dark of the night
Under the moon
He sits on his branch a hooting

 

But when the sun rises
He will be gone
Back to his nest a roosting

 

I would love to know what you see when you look at this!!

 

Have fun!

Weekly Critter Challenge 5/52 - Flutterbies

 

Several critters this week - Butterflies!

 

Pretty pink enamelled butterflies with sparkly rainbow 4mm Cubic Zirconium in a fine silver pendant.

 

Here is the poem

 

Flutterbies

 

Flittering, fancily, fluttering by
Flashes of fuchsia fleetingly fly

 

I think this pendant a bit of a Japanese feel to it, what do you think?

 

Have fun!
