925 silver, each earring 3 inches long. Created at Haystack Mountain School of Craft under instruction of Michael Good, the reviver of the pre-celtic Anticlastic Raising technique. This involves bending and twisting metal almost solely with special hammers and wavy stakes (in a progressions from large waves to tiny waves) called sinusoidal stakes. The wire for the lobes is the same piece of silver hammered finely into a hollow tube.
Simple turquoise and brass ring. My first ring and bezel ever.
Basic convex brass ring. Made in Italy.
925 silver Byzantine star with Chinese turquoise.
Sinusoidal, Anticlastic Raising technique taught by Michael Good. Seaweed imitation inspired by beautiful Penobscot Bay at Haystack Mountain School. "New gold" (a mix of brass, copper, etc) with patina.
Anticlastic Raising. "New gold" hollow "open seam spiculum" bracelet.
925 silver helix, again Anticlastic Raising technique. One of my favorites, inspired by glass twist cane and DNA of course.
925 silver feather/leaf. Sculptural item. 4 inches long.
My first pendant/ rivet piece. Handmade silver rivets. Made in Florence, Italy. Sulfur helped to create the craters.
Third eye headpiece. Made in Italy, 925 silver and plated "new gold" with artificial stone.
My first inlay headpiece. Turquoise and garnet inlay (both mined by my great grandfather) and 925 silver. Made in Italy.
