Dragonfly jewellery at the Beijing International Jewellery exhibition

 I participated in the Beijing International Jewelry exhibition again in 2019. My previous participation was in 2017 when I was a guest of BIFT.

Standing behind the showcase that has my jewellery in it

It was difficult to take a picture of the jewellery and my face due to the lighting so it looks like there is no jewellery in the showcase!

The jewellery!

The jewellery consisted of titanium dragonfly fibulae, two dragonlfy brooches made from recycled plastic bottlecaps, and a dragonfly brooch made from a White Stinkwood stick and plastic cable ties.

My showcase

The photo above shows a view of my jewellery through the transparent lablel that was used on each showcase. It has the stick and cable tie brooch on the left.

Frames

Making jewels for Frames. This is a brooch proto type, using layers and trying to incorporate a safety pin. I'll show the back as well

i forgot that paper would stick!

Plastic plectranthus

There must be a way to make something like this with HDPE. ‘Something like this’ refers to the flower of the plectranthus (petiolaris). These are growing in spot on the windowsill, next to the orchids and the Mary.

I’ll have to melt and pinch the stem and separate the body - maybe with inserted paper or foil, like the back of the milk bottle brooches.
