RAW52 #4

This week, life escaped me, and left the bits and pieces of my metal love,
strewn about unfinished on my bench.

Without further ado, here below is my Ring a Week 2011 number 4.

A beautiful creamy feather, once owned by one of the fat ducks floating about contendly on the Concho River this weekend.  I'm not sure if they are aware of losing it, but unfortunately my antics of jumping about on the shore of the river yelling for the owner, accomplished nothing but some odd sqwaking in my general direction.  So I turned it into my ring for the week, since I realized while I was living my life this week I had run out of time to meet my personal deadline.



Here's to greater dreams of rings to be made this week, out of metal.

In the land of grey...

What a beautiful and moving video.
Excellent way to start my day in the freezing cold studio.

RAW52 - Week 1

So 52 rings, for the year of 2011.

I am part of a wonderful group of talented metalsmiths, all participating in the Ring A Week 2011 Challenge (RAW2011)!

Last year, many participated in a RING A DAY....wow.  I wanted to join in, but knew I could never make a complete piece of jewelry every day due to my schedule.  So this year when I heard about the RAW, I knew that this was actually feasable for me to accomplish.

I will be blogging about my progress, but you can find the official blog HERE



So without further ado, I present my RAW52, Week 1


I have brought back my popular Hammerhead Series


This one has a lovely Laguna Saginite


Oxidized and rusticated to perfection


Tumbled for brillance


In a glorious size 8

Available this evening for purchase in my Etsy Store!
