Old is new again

I was looking for something, a hand necklace, to replace one that sold and I found a bunch more brass anatomy.  It was re-found, dug back up, surfaced again, something like that.

So I’m thinking I at least have to add a kidney and a brain into this mix.

These brass pieces were all made 2-5 years ago, nothing too recent and they are done batches of 5-10 at a time.  The process is fairly involved and the etching part is done in a spray etcher, made by my partner.

The only piece of the collection I have kept for myself is the skull.  Maybe next go around I’ll keep a hand and a ribs…

New Anatomy

It’s almost half way through February and I’m still plugging away on replacing anatomy that sold before Christmas as well as recently sold bits and pieces. Lots of hand sewing in front of the TV to keep my eyes all good, even though I recently got glasses.

I’m currently addicted to Pretty Little Liars which my sister loaned me.  I’ll start season 5 next week to see what happens with Alison being back. I read that PLL is like “I Know What You Did Last Summer” meets “Gossip Girl.”  I never watched Gossip Girl but my Mum loves IKWYDLS so have seen that so many times.  Although I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s quite like IKWYDLS it is a very addictive mystery with lots of weird story arcs that leave you going WTF?!

Brass Anatomy Jewellery is Back!

My partner first came up with the idea for making Brass Anatomy when I was asking about a way to turn my drawings into something.  I am not great at drawing but some of them are okay, they certainly have potential for some sort of use.

As making the brass pieces needs to  be done in bulk we only do it to so often.  We recently did some new ones for Finders Keepers, and the upcoming GoMA market here in Brisbane.
