sterling silver-steel washer-enamel

this ring was made by first torch firing a steel washer with enamel. the black speckles that happen are sort of unpredictable, so each washer always turns out a little different. i then made a sterling silver setting and riveted the washer onto the ring. not to toot my own horn, but i think this might just be the best tube rivet that i’ve ever made. i’ve been out of practice too…so i was extremely pleased with how it turned out.

sterling silver–brass–machine screws–fake grass

this is a one-of-a-kind hand crafted ring. this ring combines my love for nature and my love for tacky things like fake grass. whoever invented it was surely a genius.

for more views of the ring and details check my etsy store. thanks!

sterling silver-wax-epoxy-plaster

not sure exactly how i feel about this piece. i’m excited by the ideas it has given me though. i’m going to be making more of these that have a bit more of a pattern to them. how it was made: a base of wax was put down on the inside of the ring, then a layer of epoxy was poured on top of that, once the epoxy hardened i drilled holes randomly and then filled them in with plaster. it’s kind of mesmerizing to wear it; my brain is constantly trying to find a familiar pattern within the dots.
