I just got accepted to a juried art exhibit, “Best of WY!”, that will be hanging in Jackson Hole, June 28-Aug 2, 2013, at the Center for the Arts in the main gallery of the building. I will be submitting a silver and amethyst bracelet and a group of four lockets: 
I am so excited and honored to be in the show and look forward to seeing all of the other participants’ work.

Recent copper “Spanish Ivy” repousse bracelet.
The initial guiding dots.
The outlining and repoussage forming. Flipping over the piece to “chase”, work it from the front and add in better detail.
The finished piece!

I have taken a small break from the jewelry making to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s with my family and friends. However I am back in town and will be diving right back into the jewelry bench. Right before I left for the holiays I made a beautiful turquoise bracelet with 6 strands of Nevada mined turquoise with a sterling silver clasp that I recently designed. I will be offering more bracelets with this clasp with various gemstones.

I’ve been working on the chasing and repousse technique that I recently learned. Here are a couple of ‘in the works’ photos of a practice copper bracelet that will have ivy leaves on it.
The first photo is the outlines dotted with a punch to guide my work. The second photo is the beginning of the ‘repoussage’, I press out the shapes with various punches and then will flip the piece over for the ‘chasing’ portion where I do final forming and detail work. After that I will form the bracelet into a cuff.
I took a course from Davide Bigazziin California in the springtime to learn this technique. He’s a true master and makes amazing pieces.
