time for new work





 i'm now officially back to the grindstone with new work on my table, waiting to be completed and listed in my etsy shop. i won't list things until i have a good handful so as to get some momentum going. wish i wasn't so slow--but some of the pieces are fairly complex to make as they incorporate a number of phases and techniques, not to mention hand made chain...

here is a sea flower pendant similar to a few i've had in my shop previously--this time a chartreuse enameled hand cut flower sits in it's darkened dome chamber that echoes its shape. hand wrought chain with delicate long links are oxidized black.

i'm also experimenting with some new stack rings and rings. keeping them simple so that i can take orders for rings is a goal... hand wrought and with some added elements with fused gold give these a great modern but organic feel ... by the way, the prop in this photo is a wonderful cast porcelain branch that alyssa from BROOKLYNrehab made--

i'm hoping to have new work listed in my shop by the beginning of september--- until then---nose to the grindstone!!
