Huge new supply of recycled Sari Silk skeins!

Check them out here for all of your craft and jewelry needs:

Reclaimed silk has been gathered up from the manufacturing process of saris and silk garments, from there it is turned into this wonderful ribbon. Nothing is left to waste.

Made in a small co-op in northeast India, a lot of pride and hard work goes into making this ribbon while providing jobs to the severely impoverished in the region.

With your help, over 10,000 pounds of waste from landfills has been turning it into yarn like this. Not only that, the sale of this product helps the many women that create these yarns.
So, you can feel great about making a unique project; and helping save the earth along with us!

A focus on luminescence for a bright new season!

CHELDENA ARTWEAR PROJECT

These pictures below are my first etchings in the process of making a pair of earrings. The plan is to stained glass with them but I am presently undecided.

I have etched a real leaf on pure copper sheets which are approximately 2” long by 1” wide.

In the photos you see one that has not been oxidized yet; you only see the pure copper. 

The other has been oxidized and steel wooled to bring out the raised etching; then polished with a professional Jewelers wax.

I had a pleasant surprise after the etching process was finished along the outer edge of the copper; which displays a beautiful texture that was not there at first. So it made it’s own decorative frame during the process. (See the ^2rd photo below)

The ideas I have are endless and can’t wait to make more; I am addicted! I also plan to eventually make  unique jewelry components in my www.artwearelements.etsy.com shop… 

Watch also for new handmade clay components added to my Artwear Elements shop in the near future!

Till next time, all the best!

The detail of the leaf etchings below look smaller and more intricate in person.

Before & after oxidation:

Oxidized with decorative natural etched frame:

Finished; which is not as red but camera and lighting are picking up the warmer hues today:
