Hand-fabricated, textural, one-of-a-kind sterling silver and copper jewelry with semi-precious gemstones and patinas. Designs are inspired by nature, texture, pattern and play.
I enjoy working with the rich textures and colors of bead embroidery, combined with embossed leather and unusual gemstones and fossils. My pieces often have 5000 or more individually stitched beads.
Silver, Gold & Copper Jewelry made using the lost wax & fabrication process. Using precious & semiprecious stones. Rings, Pendants, Bracelets & Earrings. Gold & Silver used in our jewelry are 100% recycled.
I design one of kind jewelry from gemstones and metal. I accompany these treasures with resin and found objects. Each piece is an exploration of texture and color. A small wearable piece of art.
Each unique glass design is created with 3-5 layers of glass using dichroic, art, frit & powdered glass. The piece is kiln-fired 2-4 times layering each cab to create the desired effect.
My work uses rocks mainly from Lake Superior and sterling silver. Occasionally my work incorporates other natural elements. All rocks are drilled by myself and I hand fabricate almost all components.
I swing a hammer. I like geometry. Less is more. By cold-forging metal I quite literally leave my mark on each piece making them all one of a kind as I cannot strike my hammer the same way twice.
Fine porcelain is hand formed and individually painted with underglaze colors using watercolor marbling techniques. Clear glaze and then high fire in the kiln. Luster glaze and gold or platinum trim.
