Dead soft

Eee... surmpehme? ... Proovisin ära selle hõbetraadi, mida nimetatakse dead soft'iks. No ütleme nii, et olen kasutanud kangemat hõbetraati, kuid vasktraat on ikkagi pisut pehmem. Samas selle hõbetraadi vedruna mässimine tuli ilma vaevata välja - tegin väärt investeeringu!

Siin paar kõrvarõngaid selle hõbetraadi (täpsemalt 0,8mm ja 0,4mm), klaashelmeste ning Karen Hill Tribe hõbedast komponentidega. No ei saa neid rõngaid täpselt ühesuguseks, ükskõik kui palju ma ka ei proovinud... Arvasin, et olen kaval ja nii tegingi hoopis ellipsikujulisteks... Ikkagi ei tulnud ühesugused :)

Muide, tegelesin täna tikkimisega, sain ühe lapi valmis ja tahaks sellest kuidagi midagi kantavat (loe: ehteid) teha, kuid veel pole õiget ideed tulnud... eks sellest tulevikus ;)



So I tried silver wire that is stated as dead soft. Well, lets say I've tried silver wire that is more hard to handle, but copper wire is still a bit softer. Though coiling dead soft silver wire was really easy - so it was worth buying!

Here is a pair of earrings with that silver wire (0,8mm and 0,4mm to be precise), glass beads and Karen Hill Tribe silver components. I can't get those hoops into the same size and shape, no matter how many times I've tried... So I thought I was smart and made them into the shape of ellipse... Still couldn't get them same :)

By the way I did some embroidery, finished a little piece and I'd like to make something wearable (read: jewellery) out of that. Haven't had the right idea yet... More about it in near future ;)
