Hi :)
As this week continues with the set challenge , I did not want to start anything new.I was going through my pieces stash ( which is full by the way) , and I saw a few half done pieces.I thought it was time to fix them up!
Since I rediscovered jhimkis last week , I sat down and made a few caned jhimkis.I shall put those pieces up soon for sale.
These were the few pieces that were already completed. I made these in November. I was terrible at making canes , and these are the very first canes I made.These are not for sale , just for my reference.
As you can see , they are not perfect.
There are spots around the dome structure devoid of any cane and just showing the scrap clay.
The wire work is quite terrible and uneven.I had made the holes in the dome with a toothpick and this led to hole sizes of uneven sizes.I used 22 gauge of wire for wrapping both , this meant that for one piece it was just right , but the other one the wire work just sank through.
I had not added the balls at the end as they were not staying on for me.
I have no intention of selling them , but they are easily wearable as long they are tweaked a bit, These are the results.
I also made a few more Jhimkis before trying out the new caned versions.
These were fun to make as well.I shall try to update on the newer cane jhumki's as soon as I am done.
Thanks for reading :) Have a great day!
