Wax carvings of rings and a pendant that I will cast in silver. Sometimes I carve this jewelry wax to cast and it’s fun because I can make sculptural shapes that I cannot do when I fabricate with metal. Each process has its perks. The different colors of wax often denote different hardness; sometimes you want a very brittle wax and others you want a more flexible. It is amazing the detail one can get in this wax. Next photos will be these pieces cast and then polished, stay tuned. #waxcasting #lostwaxcasting #jewelrycasting #silversmith #sculpture #sculptor #artistatwork #howthemagichappens

I have beautiful lapis lazuli on my workbench; it will be centered in new one-of-a-kind rings. I am fabricating these rings in silver and gold. I am loving this deep and midnight natural blue and some of them have tiny golden flecks of pyrite. These will be available very soon! 🦋 #lapislazuli #bluering #goldring #silverring #metalsmith #silversmith #goldsmith #customjeweler #mendo #localartist #handmade #craftswoman

Springtime pollinator doing its thing!

We got it! We got vaccinated! I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity and last year didn’t think we would for at least 2 or 3 years. I like thinking about all of the scientists working together around the world and sharing their research and information to make this open and able to happen quickly. I hadn’t known that they had already been working on this type of vaccine for 10 years and that it might be able to help solve other major health issues like HIV. Hopefully everyone here and around the world who is still waiting for a chance can get it soon. 🍀🌎🌍🌏🍀

The Daisy Ring, I am so excited to finally share the first flower of my new jewelry collection, the Blooms Collection. The classic daisy is the first bloom to be featured because it is the quintessential flower shape. ✨

I did some silver casting last week! I got to join a friend in her studio and cast four rings that I had carved in wax. This first photo is those rings after casting and before cleanup (yes, that is silver). The second photo is the wax models with wax sprues that I attached. A sprue builds a tunnel for the molten metal to flow through and you have to think about how to angle and place the models for the best metal flow. After spruing you place them inside a metal flask and pour a special plaster in there that you cook in a kiln overnight. All of the wax burns out and creates an empty space, then you melt silver and pour it in. (Quick internet explanation 😆). ✨ Casting is so fun and always comes with the anticipation of finding out whether you did each step correctly, it’s easy to mess it up and lose your hours of wax carving work. ✨ #casting #waxcasting #lostwaxcasting #waxmodels #silversmith #customjewelry #artstudio #howitsmade #made
