Something a little different

In addition to jewelry, I also enjoy shaping wire into small sculptures.  This is a tree I made a while ago.  It's made of brass wire, and stands approximately 6 inches high.

Now if I can just figure out how to put leaves on it...

Sorry it's been so long...

Sorry I've not put anything up in such a long time.  I honestly hadn't realized that my last post was almost a year ago.

I'm not going to go into details, but I'll just say that I've had some significant personal issues that have prevented me from creating anything new...well, the issues have prevented me from doing a lot of things.

Anyway, I'm still here, and will be putting up some new posts as I can.

Prototype Pendants

I made up some prototype pendants this weekend. Each pendant is 1" by 3/4", and has two definitions within. The two definitions work together, or they're opposites. For example, we've got love/blind, better/worse, and love/hate. The "bliss" pendant was made especially for my wife. It features a copper back with my fingerprint etched in.

Here's one side of the pendants:


And here's the other:

Heat Colored Titanium Earrings

I've been playing around with heat coloring titanium. It's a little tricky, because over heating will result in the titanium turning a dark grey...which is not what I'm after.

I made these mobius ball earrings for my wife. I think the coloring turned out pretty well, with shades of blue and purple.

New EMAIL!

Earrings

Here's a pair of Sterling Silver earrings I just finished up. They got good reviews from my lovely and charming wife and the girls...The pattern is called a mobius ball. I think they make great earrings!

Trinity

I just finished this necklace for the 13 year old daughter of a friend. It's made of copper and stainless steel, is 18" long and approximately 3/16" diameter. I call the weave Trinity--it's got three rings per link, and it's intended to support a copper and steel mokume crucifix.

Since it was for a young lady, it's a fairly fine chain. I think it turned out well, even though it was pretty tedious to work on at times.

Here's the chain itself, with a quarter for scale:



Here's a close up shot showing the mixed stainless and copper rings.


Here's the chain on my 12 yo daughter. The length looks appropriate, and should continue to be usable as she grows.
