On Facebook

I've created a bilingual facebook page (English and Hungarian) to update you with the latest news, creations and events. Please join to the circle of love! See you there! :)

Zodiacs

Metals, stones, materials found in the nature - we all believe in some extent they have impact on our lives. So the idea came from my colleague mentioning she would love to order an earring to her Mum, but she has to figure out about her zodiac.
From now on, I add a short description for my creations about which zodiac is matching with the the certain piece. And to make sure we are talking about the same jewel, I also give unique names of the types from star names. The one on the picture is called 'Sadachbia'... Figure out the meaning on my facebook page here

The Very First Jewellery Exhibition and Market

A bit longer than a month before my 30th birthday my very first exhibition is taking place. If you can, please join to us for a chat and of course a cup of delicious cup of hot chocolate sold by the owner of the café.

Please indicate your attendance here

Appreciation

What gives value to these artwork?
The jewellery are made by a single wire, and once the wire is bent, it cannot be 'unbent'. The material records every movement of the creator's hands. It is like a tape recording voice, but cannot be edited later. The piece has to be perfect, as any error ruins the whole work and it has to be thrown away. Furthermore there are no identical pieces. Every jewel has it's own life and feel.

Organise, organise, organise

Friday evening I managed to buy some black textile so I set up a display tray which I am using now to pin the unfinished pieces onto.
First of all this presses me to make the final touches and to upload them to my etsy store, on the other hand it makes me feel I am progressing well and motivates me to design some new jewel.

Jewel of Transformation

Finally I set up my mind to give myself a chance to be an artist at least for a couple of months. From August till October, I will work full time on jewelleries. And if you guys like what I am doing, I will give up my old life and dedicate myself to this passion of life... So heads up and visit http://ferenc.etsy.com

This necklace is the transformation itself. Originally gave home to a blue crystal which broke into pieces because of some mysterious reasons to give home to this jasper coin.

Wedding Jewellery

Never done this before, however this order is a lovely challenge to be accomplished for one of my best friend of mine. I have to take in account the wedding cloth for the design of the jewelleries to be a perfect match in colour and in design too, not to mention the taste of my friend. The original idea was something with a ***(colour)*** stone. Then we figured ***(colour)*** is already dominant in her outfit, so we stay with white and silver combination.
As I am working with new ways of creating a shape, I will experience with brass first.

Edit 28.07.2011: ***(colour)*** is secret until the wedding is taking place

Declared finished

Over this weekend I spent lot of time contemplating over my life. Did not come up anything as usual, however I managed to finish off the medal I was reporting about here last time. Used all my jasper I have got at home to take a reasonable shot.

The final design is slightly different from the original. The teardrop part of the jewell now has a small bead of jasper instead of the coin shaped one. The reason of this modification was that the bigger coin-like jasper would have been entirely covered the dense pattern of the copper base.

Hope you will like it!

Valentine's day and a romantic story

There was a long period of time I had to suspend my beloved hobby. Now I am writing from the capital of Hungary, Budapest.

We have just passed Valentine's day and a friend of mine is in love. My friend is in Hungary, the beloved is in Spain. Still they keep together and planning their life together. Silly story, however it gives me the hope that there are still deep feelings inside some people.

So the idea came from this story. A medal which is not quite finished yet, but a good excuse to post here again. The main parts are different, as two people are different. The inside of it is different as well, as we all are different. But the shape just fits together. Not perfectly, but well enough...
