48/52 Texture Testing = More Joyfulness

I'm very excited about the new textures I'm working on!!

We have been doing testing on the production of them and we seem to have it sussed now. YAY!!

These are very different to the laser cut card Joyful textures that I already sell. These are new designs and a different material for the texture plates. They are durable and produce really sharp details as you can see from the photos. 

I can't show you an actual texture plate just yet - trade secrets and all that you know ;) lol

The earrings above are combined with various semi precious beads - sleeping beauty turquoise, imperial topaz, carnelian and amethyst. (These are all for sale so I must get on and list them!) The black beads in the photo below are tourmaline. 

Next I'll make some enamelled examples :D

I should have these for sale in January, I'm still finishing off all the designs. If you want me to let you know when they are ready just let me know.

I do hope you like them!

Have fun!

34/52 Joyful Textures Part 2

 

I'm very excited that at last I have my textures up and listed on my website :) I only have very limited quantities of them though!!

I have six different textures, one of them is the same design reversed.

I've been making sure I have at least something with each design on as an example. I decided not to name the textures but just to leave them numbered.

You'll have to forgive me but the next part does rather sound like a fashion show!!! :D 

The first three are 50mm x 89mm (2" x £.5") in size.

So...Joyful Texture A500 below is shown on the ring band of the Purple Weave ring above...

and below. 

 

Next we have Joyful Texture A501

 

This design is very special to me as I used it on my reversible necklace Precious. Below is the texture enamelled...

...and on the other side of the pendant it is gem set :)

And then we have A502

 

As seen on the band of the Marchionesque ring.

The next three are larger sheets - 102mm x 127mm (4" x 5").

We start off with G500, I love it!

You can see it in the centre of the back of my Rainbow Ripple pendant...

and also on these small pieces. This texture would also be great for enamelling - I must do that!!

The next texture is G500/REVERSE. This was a bit unexpected as I hadn't initially thought of reversing it, but it looks great!!

Finally we have G501. This is very varied with lots of uses. 

I put it on the back of my Joyful Torii pendant :)

So there we have it. I do hope you like them - and I can't wait to see what people make with them! Please do post links in the comments on this post if you make something using them, or email me :)

Have fun!
