Writing calligraphy on the place-cards for my sons konfirmation party. #calligraphy #place-cards #handwriting #bysonjaseidl

SMK. I saw a very inspiring exhibition at the "Statens Museum for Kunst" in Copenhagen the other day, together with my friend. Here a wonderful portrait by Danish artist Bertha Wegmann. #painting #oiloncanvas #berthawegmann #SMK #exhibition #DanishArt #portrait

Chunky Sterlig silver ring with a 18ct gold bezel, that frames a beautifully cut aquamarine cabochon with an unique inclusion. I designed this ring for a woman who appreciates hand crafted jewellery. #finejewellery #finejewelry #gemstone #stonesetting #ring #aquamarine #bysonjaseidl #goldsmith #art

Simple sketches from an earlier work proces, where I made my own steel punches to get the desired design result. Spring approaching with the first tiny flowers. Let's see where it goes. #Spring #sketches #finegold #earrings #finejewellery #flowers #smithing #goldsmithing #steelpunches #bysonjaseidl

Lake Buresø. Sightseeing in Denmark. Beautiful nature along the shore and great paths for walking. An early March morning with bright sunshine. #sightseeingDk #lake #landscape #sunrise #bluesky #bysonjaseidl #inspiration #nature

Chunky sterling silver ring with a 18ct gold bezel and a wonderful grass green Turmaline gemstone. Polished surface and inside a hammer engraving in Roman Capitalis. #Turmaline #Ring #finejewellery #finejewelry #Schmuck #bysonjaseidl #silversmith #goldsmith #metaldesignerMA #MArcaLondon #year2001

Lake Buresø in Denmark with a beautiful sunrise yesterday morning. I went for an early walk along the shore and enjoyed the wonderful scenery in March. I might show a few more landscape photos, which I use as an inspiration for my goldsmithing and art work. #bysonjaseidl #inspiration #Buresø #lake

A beautiful black hairband decorated with carneol beads on gold thread, and mounted with oxidised flowers in sterling silver. Creative craftmanship. Romantic mind. Love for decoration & detail. #handcrafted #finejewellery #finejewelry #bysonjaseidl #goldsmith #artist #designjewelry #MArca #carneol

Yesterday I made this Japanese rice cake for our friends' visit. A sweet shortcrust pastry with almonds and a filling of creamy rice pudding, scented with rose water and vanilla, and thinly sliced apples. 🌹 It goes well with lemon sorbet. #baking #Japan #bakingsky #bysonjaseidl #ricecake #rosewater

This cast silver ring evokes many different associations in people, which I think is interesting, that we can see and be inspired by things in different ways. #Ring #Champagne #Silver #casting #finejewelry #handcrafted #finejewellery #bysonjaseidl #goldsmith #silversmith

Baking yesterday was a success, kids have been eating all in just one day. In Danish we call it 'Rugbrødschips' (rye bread chips). Cut a loaf of rye bread in thin slices, brush with little oil, drizzle with salt and oregano, and bake for about 20 min until crispy. #snack #chips #baking #bread #fun

Experimenting with glass today, together with my son Ilja... Maybe I can use those first sketches as lids in wooden boxes. It is snowing outside, a cozy Saturday morning. #experiments #inspiration #holidaywithmyson #familyactivity #glass #colouredglass #tryingsomethingnew #cozysaturday

My Amaryllis is flowering so beautifully these days. #gardening #drawinginspiration #beautiful #flower #flowers #inspiration #inspired #red #Sonjasprojects #sunshine #February

Memories. This silver teabox I made many years ago, and later sold it to a very nice couple. On top of a glass lid a decoration of electroformed and fine gold plated metal mesh. #teabox #Teedose #Tee #tea #Silver925 #box #experimentalartwork #silversmithing #finejewellery #finejewelry #bysonjaseidl

This collier I made in London in 2003 at the Royal College of Art. It was part of my jewellery series "Growing Ornaments", where I experimented with various possibilities in chainmail linking. #collier #chainmail #finejewellery #finejewelry #silver #artwork #handmade #bysonjaseidl #silversmith #MA

Today I was visiting one of the most wonderful places for a goldsmith to see. Maximilianmuseum in Augsburg in Southern Germany is highly recommendable for us craftsmen to visit. Some of the most beautiful artwork in goldsmithing is exhibited here. #inspiration #Maximilianmuseum #Augsburg #artwork

A series of loop earrings laid out on my work bench. Experimenting with the metal, bending, smithing and sometimes trying 'impossible things' has given useful new shapes sometimes. #loops #earrings #goldsmithing #handmade #bysonjaseidl #silversmith #designerMArca #finejewellery #finejewelry

This brooch I made back in 2004 as a part of a jewellery series where I experimented with chainmail, and developed my own shapes, very much inspired by growing organisms in nature. #brooch #chainmail #artwork #bysonjaseidl #finejewellery #finejewelry #Goldschmiedekunst #handmade #photoetching

In this ring I tried to design a model that integrates an oval cabochon bezel into the shape of a fairly thin ring for an elegant overall expression. #18ct #turmaline #ring #castingmodel #handmade #goldsmithing #finejewellery #finejewelry #bysonjaseidl

Louisiana Museum in Humlebæk today. Personal inspiration tour with my friend Carla. Credit: Yayoi Kusama - "Gleaming lights of the soul".

These rings are cast in various alloys. Beautiful range of colours especially in the 18ct gold version through the reflection of light at different angles. #handmade #handcrafted #casting #gold #vifte #finejewelry #finejewellery #schmuckkunst #bysonjaseidl #Goldschmied #goldsmith #metal #art

Handmade jewellery is created in the process. My idea might not be clear from the beginning and the piece is never really finished in my mind. There is always an opening to new ideas. This bracelet has just been a starting point years ago. #handmade #finejewelry #bysonjaseidl #chainmail #bracelet

Handmafe jewellery is always exciting. Work in progress. One of my designs in silver, tarnished just after soldering. I love the colour effects that metals can have. #tarnish #silver #bysonjaseidl #exciting #workinprogress #finejewelry #finejewellery #silversmithing #goldsmithing #soldering

Handmade jewellery always captures something of the maker. A reflection, a fantasy, a thought, love, spirit... that makes it unique. This piece I created for Gitte, with a beautiful light blue aquamarine. #handmade #handcrafted #finejewelry #finejewellery #aquamarine #stonesetting #bysonjaseidl

This necklace I made many years ago for my grandmother's 80th birthday. A magnificent blue and green translucent Boulder opal set in a 22ct gold bezel. #necklace #boulderopal #bluegreen #stonesetting #goldjewelry #preciousjewelry #finejewelry #handmade #bysonjaseidl #silversmith

Handmade jewellery has a great advantage for the customer, as it always responds to personal wishes. This silver ring I have engraved with a personal mantra. #Silverring #handmade #Hammerengraving #Engraving #bysonjaseidl #Silversmith #goldsmithing #finejewelry #finejewellery

Handmade jewellery is quality jewellery, because every detail is thought about and cared for. This is a silver ring I made for Veronica many years ago with a personal inscription about friendship and hope. #silverring #finejewelry #photoetching #finejewellery #handmade #hope #bysonjaseidl #Veronica

Handmade jewellery always has a personal story to it. This is a very special silver wedding ring, which I made for Tanja last year. #wedding #Silverring #custommade #handcrafted #Solja #flowers #unique #designjewellery #finejewelry #goldsmithing #bysonjaseidl #orafa #orfèvre #Goldschmiedin

Still a favourite recipe. Delicious "Brunsli" from Switzerland. Very similar to "Zimtsterne", but spiced with ground clove instead of cinnamon. I baked them when I visited my family in Bavaria for Christmas 2024. #bakingsky #Brunsli #swissrecipe #deliciouscookies #Plätzchen #Backen #Christmas #bysos
