New Pieces

Something new

My first viking knit watch. Custom made for a co worker. I brought my beads to work and let her design it, she was thrilled and she did a wonderful job.

Special birthday

My awesome friend, best customer and greatest supporter commissioned me to make a necklace for her friend who is celebrating a special birthday. I was given complete freedom to create this unique piece. I have had the pleasure of meeting this amazing woman. She is classy, worldly, warm and down to earth.
I formed the cabochon from my 'upcycling' material, I soldered it to copper and hung the pendant on a weave of copper viking knit. I oxidized everything to create a warm, rich tone through out.

I feel that this necklace ties in all her wonderful qualities and I hope she wears it in good health.
