Chandeliers

Hello all,

I'm well again and very grateful  for all your well wishes.  I am not used to being sick, this was the first in many winters.

Real life took over.  We are celebrating an early Passover holiday shortly, there will be spring cleaning, shopping,  house guests, dinners, spring cleaning, etc.  Very little time for miniatures.

I did, however, manage to complete two chandeliers.


Chandelier No. 1

This is the one suitable for the gallery.  It looks much better the it does in this photo.  I used a metal filigree earring and a jewelry finding, as well as acrylic beads.


Earring.





Cutout section of earring and jewelry finding.  There are 20 holes in the earring part and 10 in the finding.

Chandelier No. 2


Looks much better than in the photo.


I used two jewelry findings each with 12 holes.  Didn't like the shiny gold plate and painted it over with a kind of old gold acrylic paint.


From this angle you can see the under part with the big acrylic bead.

I have to make another chandelier, exactly the same as No. 1.  The two will hang in the gallery.
But it will have to wait untel after the holidays.

Both chandeliers can be fitted with electricity.

I found something I loved on Pinterest.  Maybe someday I'll make it in miniature. Isn't this a  great idea?


A very warm welcome to new followers

  9. So good to hear you're feeling better - have a great holiday and take the time to recover and gain strength again. Your chandelier looks fantastic, that earring was the perfect find to become the basis for this lovely piece. And I would really love to see you build this gardening piece somr day. Do you have this kind of things in Israel? We usually use them for growing herbs, that's why we call them "Kräuterschnecke" = herb snail.

    Hugs
