Kathryn Au Jewellery

I hand-craft original jewellery in silver, copper, brass and on some occasions gold.

Another nature walk thanks to #woodlandtrust the 🐸 fortune teller #origami has developed a voice and apparently the power to convince my #toddlersofinstagram to take a walk, we spotted everything on the list except ladybirds which we'll hunt for in the garden.

Some process pictures from my casting experiments.

Some process pictures from my casting experiments. I forgot to get a photo of the first one with the spru attached but you can see what it was like from the second one. I used the saw and drill to make the bail.

Shopping this I realised how much I love play as part of a making process; I didn't want to just reproduce a shape entirely and I wondered if the copper would fuse. After the first go it didn't so I used a smaller one in the second just to make the indent and it fused this time 🤣. Now I'm playing at putting different dishes in the first one seeing how they look.

Time at the bench today. I'm still enjoying casting trying things out, pouring went wrong this time but I lucked out with the spru and was able to have a second go. I've got lots of bits at the 90% stage I really need to find the enthusiasm to finish, hallmark and photograph for the website but with low energy and no one specific I'm finishing them for it's nicer to play more with the few hours I get.

A couple of photos from casting and the weird mist

A couple of photos from casting and the weird misty view from the window that day. It's been a rough week with constant tension headaches, probably not helped by hormones and every single bit of news I've managed not to avoid so looking back on the lovely is nice.

Some more visitors!

I am not a terribly serious person, this may well be coming across by now, I like to have a bit of fun while working.
