Thread/Metal Jewelry

Here's Missy's newest creation! When she's had the opportunity she's been developing unique jewelry by combining thread and metal together! This creation is made from sterling silver and red thread.

Summerfair 2009

I had the honor of Summerfair contacting me to judge the jewelry category this year! Out of the incredible jewelry that I encountered there I chose Aaron Rubinstein of Cincinnati, OH for first place. He had very intricate pieces that required many steps. His craftsmanship was outstanding! Here's his site:
www.modernartjewelry.net

After more research I realized that I am currently in a show with him at the Ohio Craft Museum! The piece that you see above is from that show.


Summerfair is an incredible show! If you are in the Cincinnati area I hope that you can make it!

Best of 2009 Show

This spring I had two of my pieces accepted into The Best of 2009 Art Show at the Ohio Craft Museum (Columbus, OH).

Deer Hide Jewelry

Here are a couple of pieces that I recently created using deer hide as the focal point. The earrings are made from copper with a patina finish. The ring is made from sterling silver.

At Bay

This is a found object pendant made of copper, antler, wild grass, hemp cord, and a found tin. The theme of this piece is based around the idea of animals losing their habitat, because our society keeps destroying wooded areas to build another department or grocery store.

Best of 2009 at The Ohio Craft Museum

Recently, I have had two of my pieces selected for The Best of 2009 Show at The Ohio Craft Museum! I will have more information about the show once we get closer to the opening. Here is a link to the Best of 2008 Show:

Here are the two pieces that were accepted: Origin of the Ring and Wary Petiole.

Stag Nut

This is one of my more recent creations. I've been dabbling in using found objects in my work. In this brooch you can see my interest for the outdoors. This brooch (Stag Nut) is created with: etched copper, sterling silver, nickel silver, black walnut and deer antler. The size is 2" x 2".

Newest addition to Etsy

Here's my most recent creation:

It's a sculptural ring with the use of found objects: pine, purple heart, a screw and a screwdriver shaft.

Wood Rings Experiment

Lately I have been experimenting with wood working. At first I took on this medium to give myself a break from metal and to have some fun with something totally new. I have enjoyed the process of wood working and I will begin combining wood with my metal creations much more! I figured that I would share with you some of the wooden rings that I have created and are currently for sale on our ETSY site:

Workshop with Andy Cooperman

Over the summer I took a workshop with Seattle based jeweler Andy Cooperman. He was incredibly informative and a great guy! If you ever get a chance to take a workshop with him or own one of his pieces you will not regret it! Here's what I created while in his workshop! Thanks for stopping by!
