Starring the Vespa Pendant

I'm always amazed when I my customers send gorgeous photos of them wearing their jewelry.   Here is Lily Sly, a french customer that bought the Vespa pendant last year; not only is she a model but a talented photographer as well.   Knas photography is behind the lens and he captures a serene essence. 

What I love most about these photos is how different and completely unique they are in comparison to my photos or ones by my photographers.  The color, feel and quality of these are magical and seem to transport the viewer to another place.  I hope you enjoy them!

The Crow amethyst pendant

I meant to post this several days ago but never got around to it! With being back in classes and a new work schedule I haven't had as much time to blog.

The crow claw has presented so many ways to incorporate rough stones, and as with the sterling silver crow claw ring, amethyst just looks so beautiful with it.

The Hunted Crow Claw amethyst pendant.

I'm going to have to get more of these beautiful amethyst points.

Polished and ready to be worn. I'm so very excited about this new series of work - I hope you are too! More details on my Etsy site.

Oxidized brass and sterling silver. Get it here!

The pendant top is also made from a talon.

my new obsession

Deer antler! One of my bench mates in the undergrad studio had been working with deer antler for awhile and I asked him where he procured them. Well, luckily, he gets them from another undergrad metals student, Luke Price. His family does alot of hunting (what family in North Carolina doesn't?).

So I spoke with Luke and we did a trade; a pack of smokes for two antlers. Deer antler has this beautiful ivory/tree grain quality, and it's soft. So I began cutting it up and found that the antlers worked really well with my starfish cast pieces.
And above are 3 of my pieces for Casting I class...I still have 2 more to knock out before tomorrow...so I plan on making earrings. That makes 2, right?
I hadn't really seen any of Luke's work until this morning and I almost had a heart attack from the beauty of his 3 brooches for Mi-Sook Hur's Jewelry I class. Luke also used antler, he carved them into 3 cabochons, of varying sizes. I really, REALLY, want one of these brooches. Luke also used wasps hives...at first I thought they were beehives. Aren't they gorgeous? Pin It
