More imaginary objects

Imaginary objects

After a long break from posting in my blog, I am back with some more from my series "Imaginary Objects" combining brass stampings with found objects and bezel charms.

Imaginary objects

This is what can be accomplished with a good torch and some different pliers.

Pretty in green

It is rare that I get commissioned to make something for someone, but the wife of one of my classmates asked me to make her something in green and silver.

This necklace has Jade, mother of pearl, opalite and two vintage rhinestone pieces, joined together with sterling silver wire.
And this is the beautiful and ever mysterious Heather McDermid wearing one of my doll pieces to a show - she's a musician amongst other things.

Imaginary objects

Some of my newest pieces, inspired by my series "Alchemy" , art Nouveau and the techniques learned online from Stephanie Lee's metalsmithing course. These are baroque and romantic, whimsical and extravagant.

More found object earrings

Milagro Mexican charms of a head, said to heal all the illnesses of the head and mind...
Objects I found at the flea market, a seahorse and some medals,
