Jewellery by Miriam Mitsuko Utsumi
Spool to make cat tail
Notes:
Miriam Mitsuko Utsumi uses a variety of techniques to make her jewellery. I also include some projects which aren’t jewellery, but could be.
Cords are make using a Spool as above and are also used as handles of her bags.
Tiny flowers (see larger ones here) are made using heat treatment
Spirals made using heat treatment
Stars, I think they also use heat treatment.
Balls which I think are cut, not heat treated.
