Miss Sylvaé's blog

Find inspiration in nature walks, and rediscover the colors, shapes and associations in the landscape you imagine while weaving: limestone rocks, stones and sand mixed together, where little burgundy-pink wildflowers grow, under a blue sky lit by stringy clouds, but where you can guess that a summer storm is coming...

Wools, ribbons, ropes and strings arranged in shades: here, pinks, purples, corals and pale pinks were used to create 3 coordinated weaves for decorations to be arranged horizontally or vertically to suit the space.

Coordinated set of a pair of wooden earrings for Madame and a wooden bow tie for Monsieur, both painted in Sylvae green...

This set was made possible thanks to a close collaboration with the Mots de bois workshop.

Earring design is a long, multi-stage process.

First of all, the shapes are drawn using a vector-based "mouse" technique.

Then comes the time for cutting, in a workshop equipped with laser machines, which enable very fine cuts.

The sanding stage is essential to get the best possible effect when tinting or painting (not my favorite stage, but it has to be done, and done well!).

Then it's time to stain or paint the wood, in one or more colors and always in several thin coats...

Then it's time to assemble the painted wooden forms to create unique earrings.
