Pendant

  

  New collection of necklaces for Marianne Gray. Forged out of steel with a little brass part which is solder or riveted to the necklace with a brass chain . A work inspired by curves and shapes of Art nouveau, some thing that I actually like very much . I'll present them to John Velasquez next week . 

Forged earrings

  

   Forged earrings , obviously forged out of a pair of screws .
They look a bit like two seahorses, but don't mistake they come out of the fire not the sea. . . A delicate work to handle those little objects in the fire of the forge. The funny thing is that you need to heat up those little part more than bigger parts, simply because they could dawn so much faster. As well you have to get them to the same size in order to be abel to make a pair of earrings. So at the end they tend to take a bit of time to be made .This is one paire out of a series of 5 paires. The size is ranging from 2.5 to 3.5 cm . Of course I patinated them in black and bee's waxed it. They will be presented at Marianne Gray next week a long with bracelets and a new collection of necklaces .
