In today's blog post I want to share some of my latest creations.
I spent about 16 years never using Labradorite (no, I have no good reason for that). And I seem to have embraced it all and once in binge-style.
Here are some pieces I made in the last month.
It started with this piece. I never even got finished photos of it because it sold before I had a chance. The back had rolling mill leaf texture on it, and of course it came with a chain.
I liked it so much, I revisited the design not long after.
Then I had a day where I didn't feel inspired so I merely created bezels for upcoming projects.
Back in the saddle a few days later, I made this ring.
It was my first time making a ring with an open shank behind the stone...
The next piece was a lot of fun to make. A large green Labradorite stone in front and wanting to show off the beauty of the back of the stone too, I opted for a saw pierced tree.
I still have Labradorite calling my name from my workbench, but I have to take care of a few other duties first. There will, however, be more in my near future.
So aside from Labradorite, I also spent some time recently exploring enameling.
It started with me creating my own silk screens using one of my favorite themes, of course... animal skeletons.
Then I played around with separation enamel for some cool effects.
And some sgraffito.
Then combining enameling and riveting, I created these one of a kind pendants that will be available on my website by the end of the week.
Thanks for taking a peek at my recent work.
Tomorrow's blog post will help you prepare for the upcoming Tucson show, so stay tuned.
