Since my last post over a month ago, I'm trying to remember what exactly I've been working on. I can only think of 3 things, which really, I should have made more in one month. Actually, I was sick for a week, so, 3 weeks really. So, maybe not so bad. There is a piece that I don't even remember when I started it that has been so involved. And I'm still not freaking finished with it. Believe me I will write allllllll about it when it's finished. There's also a matching ring which I just cast and has to get cleaned up. Oh, almost forgot I worked on a ring that I'll eventually make a mold of and be able to cast multiples of. That should be fun. God, mold making is seriously stinky (no joke).
Anyway two projects that I can show at least that were not actually school related:
This ring was for my mom's birthday. Simple rolling out of a solid ingot of sterling silver, pierced design, filing, and setting. I also cut the stone myself. It's called gem silica. This is what it looks like in the
rough.
This is another fabricated piece (made upon request), piercing design. No stones on this one, just some texture. And it's a little hard to tell, but I antiqued the lining in the pierced out areas.
Super short post, but so it goes. This past week I've also gotten a little sidetracked by working on making a chanukiya for the holiday as the one I own is home in NY.
