My jaw simply dropped when I came across these designs by Klaus Burgel. If only I could buy each and everyone of his pieces.
Burgel, is inspired by nature and the sensual properties of the artist’s materials, which can be blatantly seen in the way he present his pieces. They are either presented in an unpolished state to show the impoverished appearance of the material, or in it’s utterly brilliant state.
I just love his amazing weighted pendants made out of semi-precious stones and gold.
Today is another incredibly hot and sweltering day in Toronto, but great for taking photos. So hopefully when I have made more pieces, I will be able to take some fun shots of them. As for this very random post, I have decided to show you guys a picture of a very interesting product I found on my discovery and learning the skills of metal work.
Here is a product called Kool Jool, it is an insanely bright goopy pink. It is designed to protect certain semi-precious stones during the soldering and heating process. I took a picture to post up for you guys when I was using it for the first time.
I was lucky enough the first time that I applied it properly and did not burn my stones, however I did fail on soldering the joint I wanted as I was being very cautious of the stones.
Note: The pink goop gets everywhere, and it is a very messy process. I however don’t mind getting a little down and dirty.
There are now three new designs added to my store on Etsy, these are the first of many earring designs to come. Please let me know if there is a particular style you are interested in seeing, or if there is a particular style already present that you want to see more of.
One of my favorites is the ‘Nut-Brown Victoria Earring’, as this was one of my little achievements. Made out of delicate dried flowers and paired with a silver head pin, this makes an elegant combination.

I was inspired to create this piece after seeing ‘The Young Victoria’, and all the beautiful floral accessories present.
