Mermaid sea glass ring ✨ I’m really digging it paired with this bangle I made in a workshop this summer.

Happy with this pendant so far, on to sawing! Sterling pressed with an impression die from @potterusa and lapis lazuli.

Oh! Sorry I didn’t mention that. This was done using a bronze ingot with an impression die in a hydraulic press. 😊 The impression die is a copy of an antique master die from Potter USA.

Day 11 of #ArtAdventCalendar.

A few years ago, I made some miniature bird sculptures out of clay. Painting this Woodcock was good fun - that cryptic plumage of their’s is beautiful! I love the warm russet tones.

Learning how to make ingots and use impression dies has been fun. The fact some of the designs are over 100 years old just adds to it. Shout out to Potter USA for sharing these beautiful pieces of history.

Snapdragons are my favorite flower to grow. They do however produce seed pods that look like the screaming skulls of the damned.

Day 7 of the #artadventcalendar celebration of art! This is my mosaic guitar Bijou. An old Yamaha guitar made beautiful! I sold this many years ago, but I hold it fondly in my artistic journey..
Also finished up this locket today. Happy how it turned out given it was my first attempt. Stoked to make more!

Copper with patina using liver of sulfur.
