Earrings

The following earrings are influenced by my first line of jewelry. The hoops are fashioned in the same accord as the bracelets. They seem to have a tribal feel about them. 

Copper, silver earring wire, and spray paint.

The following flower earrings were form-folded using a rolling press. These are my favorite! I was hoping to make a line of flower brooches.

The process included sandblasting colored pencil, and patina.

My first post

Hello.  This is the beginning of my blog space! I will try to keep up-to-date posts on my current art projects.

For starters, I will begin by posting some of my jewelry from last year's production lines. These bangles are etched copper and painted.  The patterns were derived from the iron work of Savannah's rich historic architecture and ancient Islamic floor tile designs. The technique of form-folding enabled me to hammer these bangles into a natural curve that fit the wrist. They were then spray painted and sanded to bring out the relief from the etching process. Some were touched up with a liver of sulfur patina to darken the copper design.

Here are a few more colors and designs.
