A smattering of new work....

A few more Warriors Shield Rings for the shop, not quite as big as the giant knuckle ring I made last week though!  A bit smaller, and one that is Navajo design inspired, and one that is more King Arthur's Knights inspired.






We just finished watching the Starz Series Camelot Season 1.  Incredibly sad that they are not coming out with Season 2....I am now hopelessly addicted, and the characters they built are fantastic, especially the intricate character of Merlin.

Created this giant cross as I was inspired by the large and intricate metalworked jewelry, headgear, and cloak accents that adorned everything.  Really, the costuming is excellent in that show, you could watch it just for that.



All in the Etsy Shop now!

Warriors Shield - Etched Brass Cross Knuckle Ring

I'm so in love with this ring...am I allowed to say that without sounding like I have a super ego???



At any rate, I don't care in this instance, I'm in love with this ring.



I've been playing with the idea of creating a knuckle ring for a while, they are all the rage, but was trying to figure out a way to create it in my own style, to ensure that it is very obviously not a copycat.



It's so comfortable to wear, but it has a nice and fairly heavy weight to it.



I'm keeping this first one for myself, they are now made to order in your size!

aromatherapy scent locket...revamped...

I decided to switch up the chain on my Aromatherapy Scent Locket, and use a oxidized sterling silver plated chunky chain instead of the vintage brass chain I had used previously.  The look of oxidized silver is one of my favorite things, and I feel really compliments the gorgeous tones of the copper.

Now, in the Etsy Shop

Snakeskin, Two Ways







These detailed and organic rings appeared to me in a sudden burst of creativity, and after a few days of working out the fabrication, I am so pleased with the unique results. Real, beautiful snakeskin sits underneath a clear cabochon, which is surrounded by a feminine scalloped silver bezel, and sits on top of an etched copper backplate. The etching is my signature "snakeskin" pattern, achieved by using a piece of antique lace. The twisted ring shank is sterling silver, and the back of the ring bears my makers mark.





Custom made in your size, and posted in The Etsy Shop now!!!

RAW52, Week 3 and 5

So I realized that I never blogged about RAW52 week 3....

TaDa.

Recycled scraps from when I was first learning to solder.
Repurposed, Reborn, Relived.





RAW52, Week 5.

Etched brass, oxidized.

Experimenting with some very organic ideas and shapes.
This is officially phase 1.










I am absolutely loving this group and project.  It's a great way to keep me moving forward, even when my studio is so cold that I had to cut the tips of the fingers off of my gloves so that I can work without my hands turning in to icicles!!!
