I made it back from Asilomar yesterday it was a beautiful drive home that is until I reached the valley and could feel the heat ugh! I was already spoiled by the cool weather at Asilomar! If you get the chance to go to next year's Art & Soul and have a choice of which one I highly recommend the one at Asilomar it's such a beautiful, relaxing and friendly place!

Here's a few more pieces from my Relic's in the Round class with Sally Jean the Solder Queen!
Test Tube Trinket Necklace
Beach in a Bottle
This started out as a I think a Vinegar or Oil Bottle that I cut off the neck and then closed up the top with a piece of glass soldered.
Back side of Mermaid in a Bottle
Captured BirdThis was the top of the previous bottle, it's hard to tell but I used sheets of music cut and curled for the nesting a bit of glitter and then the bird was added.
You explained these to me, but until I saw them, it was hard to imagine. These are amazing and so fun!
ReplyDeleteYou obviously now qualify as soldering royalty. I particularly love the beach in a bottle, but they are all beautiful. Glad you had a great time.

Love it all Aileen. I imagine you are looking around for things to solder now :)
ReplyDeleteYour creations are gorgeous, Aileen! I went to the first Asilomar, and it was total heaven!
ReplyDeleteAileen. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Look s absolutely stunning setting. Love your charms and bottles. Welcome back. I hope your table was a huge success. Hugz, Scary
ReplyDeleteThese are terrific, Aileen! Did you bring the bottles from home? Or Sally Jean supplied them? They have really interesting and artsy shapes!
ReplyDeleteI love these pieces, especially the test tube. They are all awesome! I'll have to think about going to Asilomar next year.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally jealous that you got into a class with Sally Jean. Every time I look into an art retreat, her classes are already sold out! Lovely pieces!! fun, fun, fun!-Jenny at CraftTestDummies.com
