I went to a 2 day workshop in Brisbane at the Studio West End [Adele and Wim] making rivets and connecting metal together. It was brilliantly inspirational, as are all of Keith's workshops.
My rivet making skills are on the improve and I look forward to getting the chance to create a new body of jewellery with these techniques.
...found aluminium cut out shapes, rusty iron,
...watch face back, glo mesh back, corrugated copper fragment, copper watch component,
...Chinese coin, silver plated wire,
...aluminium discs, speaker mesh, ceramic beads, copper nail rivets,
...recycled silver earrings, watch parts, silver plated wire,
...a tube through timber and plastic game pieces.
This is an amazing EARRING that I bought from Keith...one of his gorgeous little mobiles that hangs from the ear. How cool is this?
I have admired and loved Keith Lo Bue's found object jewellery for a long time now.. you are very fortunate to take his workshop...and your pieces are lovely too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donna, this was the third workshop I have done of his. He also has online w/shops if you are interested.
DeleteTotally cool ear piece Noela! Very riverting, in more ways than one...
ReplyDeleteHa ha, yes, can't go past a bit of riveting [unless it's welding of course]
DeleteNoela - these are just gorgeous - you find the most amazing people!! Thanks for sharing and showing us the work - wow!!

DeleteLooks like you had great fun Noela. I was tempted to go - but am working on too many different things now. Didn't need to be tempted away -and it certainly looks as though I would have been. Will look forward to seeing what you bring from the weekend into your practice ....
