This is an earlier piece that I’ve made. I like the way I’ve combined the different stones. When I was making this piece, I could really envision how the mother of pearl would fit in the curve of the fluorite chunk. I remember it being really fun to bring that vision to life. I used copper […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
This week I bring my crown project to a close. However, as french poet Paul Valery once said, “A poem is never finished, only abandoned.” I often feel that way about my wire art. I can always see more room for development, more ways to expand the design. As per usual, I have more inspiration […]
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 […]
This week I had the pleasure of working on a custom piece for a friend of mine, working with a fluorite spear. Its a special challenge to make a piece of jewelry based off of someone else’s vision. Most of the time, when I am creating I get to call all the shots and have full […]
Bringing multiple stones together in a way that is cohesive and not busy takes awareness and sensitivity. This is an earlier piece that I made. The wire work is very simple but the combination of stones makes the piece have more impact. The first stone that I started with was the cluster of smokey […]
This piece is very close to being complete. For those of you that have been keeping up with my posts, you have seen the progression over the weeks as I add more layers of wire and stones. This week I added decorative detail work. My goals were to make the piece as sturdy as […]
