New images and ventures

I'm trying a line of T-Shirts with everday images. Lawn Mowers can be purchased at Cafe Press

Beautiful on the Neckline

This weekend I'm taking a seminar in Small Scale Gravity Casting at Danaca Design, Metal Crafting Center and Gallery in Seattle. My interests in Jewelry making have evolved and I need to gain skills in order to create the pieces I hope to create. Looking forward to expanding my skills and hope to develop an alternative way of looking at design elements.

Natural elements without that clunky, chunky feel. This pendant has a dainty but stylish composition of drilled river stone, granite from Ghana and finished with oxidized silver wire. The pendant is 3mm or 1.5 inches. The choker is 43mm or 17" and is finished with a hook clasp.

Beautiful on the neckline. Found on my Etsy Shop.

New Jewelry Sneak Peak

While preparing for a day at the Fremont Market in Seattle this summer, I've been busy creating numerous pieces. Earring and necklaces that have an earthy feel. I'm working hard on stylizing that natural feel that is abundant with components and beads available to jewelry makers.

I hand select each component, look at the inherent qualities, take a mental inventory of the supplies and pieces in inventory and work the components into a finished piece at some point in the future. Rather than following a pattern, the cabochon, pendant or bead drives the design. Its very process oriented and intuitive.
