My deer antler ring was an etsy front pager today!

Silver Coated Nature

This pendant is created using oxidized sterling silver, ebony and a garnet.

Newest Creations

Here's my newest creations: incorporating metal and wood. Setting stones so that light passes through the pendant from both sides.

The Best of 2010 Show

This brooch was just selected for The Best of 2010 Show. This is a touring show that will stop at The Ohio Craft Museum (Columbus), Owens Community College( Toledo)and Art Space(Lima).

Deer Antler/Fine Silver Ring

This is my first ring where I riveted a cross cut section of deer antler. I used the base of the antler so there was plenty of antler for me to work with. It's a nice contemporary look for two very different materials!

Garnet in the Rough Brooch

This new brooch consists of a couple of new techniques that I have not tried before. First of all, I pressure set a garnet under a wooden setting. I also set up the brooch so that you can see the stone from both sides of the brooch. It also creates way for light to pass through the garnet in order to showcase the stone. This brooch measures 1 1/8" wide x 1 7/8" tall. It is also 1/4" thick.

Bulletin Board Brooch
