最近作ったジュエリー。シルバーをあっと言う間に奇麗にする方法。My latest handmade jewelry. How to clean silver at no time.

最近、お家改装にかまけてあまり他の物を作っていなかったので、ここでちょっくら。

これはまだ改良の余地ありですが、薄いブルーのコットンでかぎ編みのネックレス。

I have been into our house renovation for a while and was like of forgetting jewelry making. So I tried some. A pale blue cotton crochet necklace. This is the first attempt of tear drop shape and It should be improve better though. 

意外と大きめですが、とても軽くて夏っぽいかな、と。

It became bigger than I pictured but it's light like a feather. Looks summerly. 

そしてこちらも夏らしいピアス。白やクリスタルは何にでも良く合って便利ですよね。

And two pairs of earrings. They are also summery. White and crystal are easy to coordinate, right?

さて、シルバーは置いておくと黒ずんできますよね。私はシルバー磨きのクロスを使っていましたが、意外と時間がかかるのと、チェーンなどの細かい所まで行き届きません。

Silver things would be dingy by oxidation. I used to use a silver polishing cloth to clean them but it took some time and difficult to clean small parts. 

この様になってしまったシルバーのバングル。

（ちなみにネイティブカナディアンの作品です。）

My Native Canadian's bangles was dingy like that. 

ベーキングソーダに水を垂らして手の中で軽く揉む様にすると、あっという間に輝きを取り戻します。上記のネックレスのチェーンも、実は黒くなっていた余り物なのですが、同じくベーキングソーダで揉む様に磨いたら数秒でピカピカです。ベーキングソーダは万能で、マウスウォッシュを作れば虫歯知らずの白い歯になるし、お掃除にも匂い消しにも使えるし、本当に便利ですよ。マウスウォッシュには食用の物を使ってください。

I polished them with baking soda and drips of water in my hands,  and rubbed then few seconds. Result of it was above! It was so easy.  A chain above with the crochet necklace was also darken by time but I rubbed it with baking soda for less than 10 seconds and washed away. It became shiny as brand new chain. Baking soda is such a versatile thing. I use is as my mouth-wash to keep my teeth white, fresh breath, and cavity prevention. I can use it as kitchen deodorant and as cleaner too. How convenient! If you use it as mouth-wash, you better use food quality one. I buy organic one.

さて、なぜか今になってまた苺が全開！いままではまるでブルーベリーの様な小さな実しか付かなかったのですが、今回のは皆標準サイズ。気温のせいでしょうか。

Well, our strawberry suddenly regain again now! They are 3 year-old since we planted and they had produced only tiny berries like blueberry size before. However, now they stated to give us a lot of  proper size of berries. I thought that the season for them was gone though. Is that because of this unusual climate in this summer?

数日前の夕焼け。ここの所また３０度超えて暑いです。

The sunset sky form a couple evenings before. It's been over 30 digress again.
