there always seems such little time in the world - umm i mean ... well whatever, ongoing complaint i guess, despite the longer hours of daylight, the total lack of tourism on the island. so i have been making lots of stuff - and that is always gratifying.
these are based on scapulars, a charm to protect you from the front and back. the base is a very old copper pot, cleaned to reveal time texture, then fused silver and finally fused gold, then its oxidized and the gold comes through.

more scapular - these are silver fused on copper roman glass beads and pebbles.

Your scapulars are so elegant and deceptively simple. I adore them. I kept seeing all sorts of images in them, then realized you had fused metals which has me very intrigued! Roman glass is beautiful, do you find it or buy it?
ReplyDeleteLove those scapulars! and the pebble and silver earrings are amazing, pebbles seem to levitate...
ReplyDeleteSO nice to see more of what you do, Alek. Its all beautiful, but the fat braided leather brought me up short...wow.
ReplyDeleteNo tourists on the island? My little island stateside is also having a much quieter summer so far than the local merchants like to see. Must say I am rather enjoying it.
Cheers to you, your work is such a pleasure.

ReplyDelete...archaic elegance, understated and minimalized to maximum effect.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I love the scapulars, and the earrings, the bracelets...
