This ring has a lot of personality. Its one of my pieces that I made for myself, just out of the joy of making things. This is an earlier piece, from almost 3 years ago, its one of the first rings that I ever made. I look back on this project fondly. When I made […]

Progress: Completed Larimar
This week I finished the larimar pendant project. Last week, I had created the structural pieces that hold the stone in place. All that was left to do this week was to add the detailed elements that pull the piece together. I used a mix of techniques to give the pendant more texture and variety. […]
Completed: Down the Rabbit Hole
This week I want to share one of my favorite pieces I’ve made. I had a lot of fun combining different stones and beads to create this pendant. For this piece, I wrapped each stone separately. Then, I combined the individual wraps together one by one. Once all of the pieces were together, I added […]
Complete: Mastodon Tooth
This week’s pendant feature reflect more masculine energy than I usually incorporate into my pieces. This pendant features a fossilized mastodon tooth. It naturally takes on an intense black color. I paired it with the bright copper to attract more light towards the piece and make it more eye catching. I played with a […]
Progress: Larimar Inspiration
This week I began working on a new custom pendant using a Larimar stone. Larimar is said to promote tranquillity and a strong sense of inner peace and serenity. It is useful in time of pressure and stressful change as its cooling and calming energy is said to help soothe frazzled nerves and reduce stress. I […]
Completed: Labradorite Slab
This week I want to feature a pendant I made with a gorgeous slab of raw labradorite. The front side of this stone has been polished to have a smooth, uniform appearance but the back of the stone is raw, meaning that it is unpolished or treated. I prefer to work with stones that are […]
Completed: Tiger’s Feather Earrings
I’ve been having a lot of fun working with feather earrings. When I’m making earrings, I try to be more conservative with how much wire I use. Its hard to wear heavy earrings for long periods of time. I want my earrings to be visually striking and wearable at the same time. I created a […]
Progress: Crown Construction II
This week my crown became a crown! After weeks of visualization, picturing what the center piece would look like once it was attached to a band, I connected the largest element, the head band. I used thick pieces of wire to bind the center piece that I completed last week to the actual band of […]
Completed: Green Glass with Labradorite
I created this piece while at a music festival. I like to bring my supplies with me when I travel so that I can have the ability to create if inspiration strikes. Oftentimes I am working on my art alone in my studio, and I actually do enjoy working around community. It was fun to take […]
Progress: Crown Construction
This week I finished bringing all of the stone elements together. Pictured above is the central piece that I will attach to the bare crown. I choose to wrap all of the pieces together before attaching them to the crown instead of wrapping each piece on individually. I laid all of the components out […]
