BAW52/22

#22 in the brooch-a-week challenge.  revisited the dots on slices of branch motif.  having fun with it, bit of an aboriginal feel, or something you'd find in africa.

BAW52/18

BAW #18: bit of a departure on this one.  used a slice of raw wood and just a few dots with two distressed granulation accents.  think i'll have to explore this series a bit more.  really like that i can still see the grain of the wood etc.  choosing colors for the raw wood vs. my usual black wood was also a challenge.  cheers!

RAW #20 & #21

i got a little behind the last couple of weeks and couldn't get into the studio much. so you're getting two rings this week! #20 is one of my layered window designs using two different recycled gift cards. i was also looking for a bit more dimension and added a plastic flower cabochon.

#21 is another ocd dots ring. this one was originally designed as a pendant for the spring show, but i liked it so much i did it as a ring, too! there's a recycled gift card peeking out of the windows and two sterling silver leaf accents.

RAW #14

spring FINALLY seems to have sprung here in calgary! and in that spirit, i give you lots of green and pink and flowers :)

this new one is more ocd dots painted on wood. the 'window' shows a glimpse of a recycled gift card. all the elements are riveted together.

rear view. this ring has a nice weight to it, largely in part to the full sheet of silver covering the back side.

happy spring!

RAW #10

it's been a crazy week (i say that a lot)! simply too much to go into, but it kept me out of the studio for the majority of the week. and so, this week's ring is almost late too.

still on the dots kick, but tried a new ring assembly this time! very comfortable to wear and can be worn on multiple fingers without any trouble which is interesting. the wood piece is quite big and extends across roughly 3 fingers when worn.

have a great week everyone!

RAW #9

only one more dot one after this, i promise! and ian keeps complaining about how big they're getting :) i'm having too much fun to care!

this one is titled "the man in the moon".

have a great weekend!
