More Early Work

These are a few images of one of my early Washi jewellery sets. The necklace was a learning piece focussed on joining circles and using heavier chain. I initially had some trouble soldering the piece together but quickly learned that I needed a larger/hotter blow torch for working on larger pieces.

Triple Circle Necklace


Indigo Blossom Set

The paper in this set has a rich indigo colour. It is called Aizome Chiyogami with Ai being the japanese word for indigo and Aizome meaning the art of indigo dying. It is different from my other japanese papers because it has no metallic details in the patterns.

The necklace is complemented with a pair of drop earrings using the same pattern from the indigo paper.
