After sketching out the design for this Larimar pendant and choosing my materials last week, I started to wrap the larimar stone this week. I started out using the thickest silver wire I have available to create a solid frame around the stone. This frame with be sturdy enough to hold the stone in place. […]

Sometimes my doodles feel a lot like dreams to me. Both dreams and doodles both take inspiration from daily life, usually at moments that we aren’t even aware are inspiring. They can be random—I can’t tell you how many milk cartons and other random objects I draw all the time for no reason. Often, both […]
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 […]
