a beautyful cabinet full of curiosities awaits you!
Here at Waifs and Strays we love and admire the beauty of antiques, the magic of crystals and the love and care that i inbed into every item i create!
So here you will find beautiful handcrafted jewellry, inspired by the designs of times gone by.
You can fill up your pockets and shelfs with the most carefully and high energetic crystals.
There will be beautiful antique trinkets and lots of beautiful and meaningful items!
You will find these delicate, one-of-a-kind jewellery.
Each piece lovimgly created by using silver clay-which after the process of firing it, leaves you with nearly pure 999silver.
Here you can see the dried silver clay before the process of firing, and some of the utensils i use for creating these delicate treasures...
i just love working with silver clay- it feels like alchemy to me.
working with a clay-like substanz which is soft and plieable and can be used in many different textures- and than firing it and seeing it turn into glowing precious silver- pure magic!
After firing each item gets carefully polished to reveal the precoius metall in it's full glory!
And of course you will find carefully sourced original antiques. I love diving into the treasure trove that antiques faires are to me. rediscovering the past, admiring the craftmanship of artist gone by, learning so much about history in the process.
buying an antique is not only sustainable- and oeco-friendly, each item comes with it's own , unique story and history!
enjoy a sneek-peek of random treasures from the cabinet...
