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!
