Evolving Displays - Practice Makes Perfect (hopefully)

Display is a trial and error thing.
Mine has been evolving with each setup.


I'm pretty happy with my last setup.  
The 2nd weekend I liked even better as all the displays were black.

It's an art I have yet to perfect - perseverance is the secret - I'm hoping.

Maybe a few more tweaks but it is less cluttered than when I first started out and the white topper helped brighten things up, especially in a dark forested area.

Having one table will present a bigger challenge but hey, I'm up for it.
I see possibly 3 layers on one table.  Need a practice run though.

Table two
Having looked at some of my earlier setups,
I see clutter which means pieces were being overlooked.

Busts can take up so much room but are necessary for larger items and things on cords.
When it comes to small chains, these beautiful tall skinny display stands below work perfectly.
They take up so little space, yet allow each piece to stand on it's own.

I had these made these and stained brown but the copper just disappeared against it.
I had another set made then sprayed them black and it works much better with the copper.
I had the brown ones converted to black.

A white wash with sanded edges would give these a nice rustic look which may well be something to consider for future projects.

Small little cabinet to display on.  
I had mirrors on the table and the lights reflected and glared in your eyes - it was not a good idea.

Broom Casting Silver and more...

Image
Adventures in Silver Broom Casting I invited a few girlfriends for lunch today and one of them suggested we do broom casting.  Two of the ladies took a class recently and the other two (myself included) were intrigued by the concept and willing to give it a try.   With a new crucible, the first step is to flux it.   First lesson:  "do not add borax (flux) until the crucible is very hot" or else it will fly everywhere. Makes sense, right - LOL I retreated to my bench to do the deed.  Once I  heated the crucible, I added a little borax (flux) to coat it. My first casting was using brass (copper for my second).   It took forever to melt, even with the addition of an additional torch. There was more success with the brass casting vs. the copper (exact opposite  of what I expected).   Not sure if the type of fuel is important, but I used mapp gas which could have been part of the problem, along with a slight breeze. I ma...

FACEBOOK PARTY!

Image
Have you been to a Facebook party lately? The Olde Farmhouse will be hosting the "Country Corner Vintage Market" on July 26th and 27th at Country Fest in Maple Ridge. To celebrate, they are hosting a #FacebookParty. The Vendors of the "Country Corner Vintage Market" (hosted by the #OldeFarmhouse), have donated prizes to be given away to lucky shoppers during the party.  In order to qualify, you just have to visit the Facebook page of the vendor's prize as it is offered, LIKE it, then return to the events page to comment that you have done so.  Then answer a fun  (and very easy)   question asked on that post and cross your fingers.  Every 4-5 minutes (or so), a new prize is offered up.  A  random number generator is used to pick each winner.   The winners must pick up their prize at the market, from the vendors booth. The Facebook party will take place on July 22nd, 2014 from 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm.  During the part...

HELLO and HAPPY DECEMBER!

Image
Hey there, after being MIA on my BLOGGER for way too long, I'm gearing up to make a comeback in 2024. Keep your fingers crossed for me! I'm itching to dive back into my studio and shift my focus to enameling and silversmithing next year. Got tons of ideas I've been dying to try out, and my enamel stash is practically begging to be used. Speaking of stashes, with time zooming by, I've had this lightbulb moment that I'll never get through all my supplies in this lifetime. It's that classic artist dilemma, right? The more you have, the more you crave. So, in the spirit of decluttering and making room for new adventures, I'm planning to sell off stuff I know I won't get around to using. Thank goodness for the Facebook Marketplace – it's about to become my creative yard sale! Here's to hoping 2024 brings a whole lot of creative vibes and a tad more organization to my creative chaos!
