I'm making swords!
These are all sculpted from copper.

Getting some new things posted slowly but surely. The tree pendant has a copper trunk and bronze leaves, the vine shield is copper with a brass pin finding on the back to make it a brooch.

#DougDoug does an annual fundraiser stream for #MontereyBayAquarium with an art contest. Here's my contribution for this year! It's a little trinket tray sculpted from copper with fine silver threaded throughout and the silver trinket it's holding.

QRP with your header art!

It's just a photo collage of a few of my favorite silver pieces - the kingfishers with kyanite, Goat of Helel, and a raven stealing an aurora opal doublet.

I sculpted a couple of Green Men! This is a new kind of patina for me, I wanted them to have the more natural verdigris of old statues.

I really loved the li'l bronze bat I made last year and someone just purchased it, so of course I just had to make another! This one's fine silver.
I also just remade this fern design.
