“Subtleties” is the appropriate
name for this piece. It started as a fascination with patinas
and their effect on metals. The only pre-fabricated part is the
etched sheet on the front of the pendant. Each large ring is
made from 2 sizes and types of wire (14ga brass and 12ga sterling,
14ga copper and 12ga sterling). Each ring was soldered, roller
milled for even thickness, and hammered. The pendant was hand
fabricated from sterling etched sheet for the front onto a midsection
of 18 gauge sheet stock. A roller milled mixed sheet of and copper/silver
is on the back. The small ring pairs are simple – one sterling
and one brass, each soldered closed for stability. The clasp
is one large hammered ring and toggle clasp.

Straight Shooter ~ This piece is made using
an original piece of art I collaged using a beautiful Mexican
Calendar Girl and vintage sheet music. I soldered the pendant
with silver solder, which I oxidized to match the vintage found
pieces. Yellow agate roundels were chained together, with a sprinkle
of faceted carnelian, vintage turquoise, and a couple of 10 mm
dark smokey grey faceted Czech fire polished crystal beads. The
vintage key is made of steel. I used vintage silver and steel,
oxidized sterling silver, dark annealed steel wire, and base
metal.

This necklace is a sampler of metal and wirework
techniques. I used sterling silver, copper, nickle and brass.
All the pieces were cut, formed, hammered, stamped, riveted or
etched. I wire wrapped all the pieces using sterling wire and
gave them a patina with liver of sulfer.

I call my piece "Charmed I'm Sure".
(Yes, I'm from the South and could not help myself.) The necklace
chain I made out of hammered fine silver jump rings half of which
have been fused together. The other half I decided to leave open
to add an old world look to the piece. I balled up different
gages of fine silver wire and added gold vermeil beads and rings
(bought) and made little barbel dangles and arches with my torch.
The center piece is fine silver fused together and is completed
made by hand. It is accented with gold filled double wire wrapped
blue topaz gemstones. The necklace is finished with a small fine
silver swawn clasp. |
