Pacific Northwest

I just got back from Vancouver City and thought I’d share some of my photos of the Pacific Northwest.  It is an amazing city with great food, local independent shops, and outdoor adventures.

Silver

My website is currently under reconstruction.

These are a few of my favorite pieces and photos from the old site:

This entire ring is hand-fabricated out of sterling silver. I used a very fine saw to cut out the small star shape in the center of the larger star. The band is slightly square shaped versus round. I thought it would be more interesting than the traditional form. The inside of the star is sand blasted and the outside has a soft luster finish.

This kitty necklace is also hand-fabricated out of sterling silver. It was quite a challenge sawing out those tiny cat teeth! The eyes are made of aquamarine faceted stones. I also did a matte finish on the face and a high polish on the whiskers, nose, and fangs. Who wouldn’t want shiny hair and teeth?

This sterling silver bunny has pink cubic zerconium eyes. It attaches to the leather band like a button which allows the option of having different colored bands. The entire piece is hand-fabricated and has a matte finish. I think it gave it a nice texture, more like a fuzzy bunny!
