Inspired by Clock Hands

A wax carving in the works of a pendant inspired by 18th century clock hands. 

Constellations

I am working out an idea for a larger multi-constellation necklace.

Work in Progress

Here are a few signet rings I am working on.  They are just back from casting, rough and covered in plaster. 

Working

Lots of pieces in the works.

New Pieces in the Works

These are some rough pieces just picked up from casting.

I am impatiently sitting at my desk awaiting the end of work so I can go home and work on these.

New pieces always make me so excited.  They are my treasures.

Some experimenting with different shapes in wax. 

Waterlilies

Inspired by the waterlilies at the Botanical Gardens, I made some stacking rings.

Heart and Hands Stacking Rings

I really like the idea of Fede Gimmel rings which are rings with multiple hoops that fit together to form one ring of two hands around a heart.

This is a triple gimmel ring from the 1800s.  I love how the pieces slide together.

I wanted to make my own version as a set of stacking rings.  One ring would be a heart and the other would be clasp hands.

The rings stack together so that the hands fit over the heart.

This one was a first attempt and I like how that hands fit over the hear but, while wearing the ring the hands don't stay put.  I think I will have to make the rings to fit more snugly together.  Also the ring is a bit bulky when stacked, I think I would like to make the hands stacking ring a bit slimmer.

Currently Working On

I have been playing around with some new ring ideas.  This is my favorite of the bunch.

In order to watch the Olympics while working I made myself a temporary couch work space.

Honey Comb Necklace Wax Carving

I have been working with actual honey comb and hard casting wax for the honey comb collection I am currently working on.  This piece is going to be a large statement necklace which really shows off the geometric patterning of the honey comb.  I was inspired by the current trend of collar necklaces while incorporating in my own style with the comb.  

I am really excited about this one!

Doodling Some Honey Comb Necklace Ideas

More Honey Comb

I got the first honey comb bracelet cast and I am really happy with how it came out.  It still needs a lot of finishing work, sanding and polishing but, it is coming along.  I love the organic shape and the depth of the comb.  

I am trying another bracelet.  This one is going to be a bangle.  I am making it a lot thinner too so it is lighter on the wrist.  This one is also entirely casting wax that I built up on top of the comb and then pulled off.  

I am having a lot of fun experimenting and I am going to try a few more versions.

Earrings of one or two cells might be fun to do as well.

Currently Working On

I am working on a lot of French curve ideas.

Even More Zodiac Constellations

I finished the wax carving for the rest of the zodiac constellations.

I am so excited for this collection to launch at the beginning of June!
