Noël 2021 : Christmas Decorations!
For a change of pace (and a lot of fun!) this year, I decided to make Christmas decorations using jewelry techniques ... beads were an obvious choice, and working with chain mail in a different context was very satisfying!!
Brin de Magie is back for its seventh season in Locmaria, Quimper ... always a treat to work and exhibit with talented craftspeople and artists ...

A Fun Bracelet by Any Other Name ...
Lots of creative types name their jewelry (and not just the collection, but each individual piece!). It's an idea I've toyed with, but I'm not yet convinced that it adds much to the jewelry experience, particularly when you are looking at a list of names of pieces and wondering what they might be - there is something to be said for calling a bracelet a bracelet. In this case, "fun" means a not-serious piece of jewelry, something to wear with jeans and a sweatshirt, made of materials that are not precious but are pretty.
Fun bracelet: silver-colored double aluminum chain connected by large-hole Czech glass beads on gold-colored aluminum rings. 7-3/4", large lobster clasp. 15€ + 5€ shipping.
Beaucoup de créateurs donnent des noms à leurs bijoux (et pas juste la collection, mais chaque pièce !). C'est une idée à laquelle j'ai réfléchie, mais je ne suis pas très convaincue que ça rajoute quelque chose utile, surtout quand on regarde une liste de noms de pièces en se demandant de quoi ils s'agissent - ce n'est pas mal d'appeler un bracelet un bracelet. Ici un bracelet "fun" veut dire un bijou pas trop sérieux, à porter avec un jean et un sweat, fabriqué des matières pas précieuses mais jolies.
Bracelet fantaisie: double chaîne en alu couleur argent, connectée par des perles en verre tchèque aux trous larges sur des anneaux alu couleur dorés. 19,5 cm longueur, grand fermoir mousqueton. 15€ + 5€ frais de port.
