walnut necklace

Sara Westermark sent Laurie Brown this fabulous cross section of a walnut, and Laurie sent it to me. I knew I had to do something special with it. The alternate title is Yoni Necklace. Recycled sterling silver, black walnut hull.

Nipple ring pendant. I woke up this morning knowing I had to make this and I have no idea what that may portend. Copper and sterling silver, it will soon be listed in my etsy shop.

SNAG video submission

Last night I worked on this video, one of my submissions for the eXtreme Media Lounge at the SNAG (Society of North American Goldsmiths) conference in Houston this March. I re-worked my jug cutter video. I wish I had saved the original hi-res movie I took of the banana, I didn't feel up to shooting it again.

A big focal point pendant that can be worn alone or in combination with the others, silver spacer beads can be added as well. Recycled sterling silver, etched copper and brass, steel cables.

not a ring

This isn't a ring, but I'm pretty excited about it, the fourth piece in my developing Danger series.

Jug Cutter. Copper, brass, sterling silver, steel fiskars rotary blade.
Forged, etched, riveted, patinated.

A steel rotary blade with a razor sharp edge is the focal point of this deadly necklace. All of the chain links and jumprings are soldered closed, which makes it quite strong. Would you wear it?
