Letters and Citrine

Letters and Citrine is the title of this necklace. It is a hollow form with an amazing texture that is hand created. I use vintage letter and number stamps that overlap each other. I oxidize the top of the piece to bring out the texture. I wire wrapped three citrine beads that dangle from the bottom of the piece. It is all sterling silver, the cord is black rubber.

Yesterday I was working on the settings I do for Ricky Boscarino. They all came out really well. I will be working on more of them on Tuesday. Ricky is an amazing artist in a multitude of mediums. Please check out his website at http://www.lunaparc.com/ You will be amazed at how one person can do so much.

Traillworks

On Thursday I finished the order for Traillworks. Very exciting. After that I started working on projects that I have been working on off and on for quite awhile. I love making, I am always amazed on much it centers me. I can be having the worst week and as soon as I sit at my bench all is right again.

Necklace and parts



Yesterday I was in the studio after that long heat wave we had. I made a new necklace for Worcester Center for Crafts's store. It is hollow formed, roller printed, and it has several ball of silver and two balls of 14k gold on it. I am more then pleased with it. I also started making several new pieces to send down to Traillworks. I think that it was a rather productive day even thought it took me awhile to get going in my studio.

Necklace



























I love this necklace. It is hollow form construction and the texture was hand applied with old letter and number stamps. I then applied Black Max an oxidizing chemical to the top of it. After I brushed off almost all of the oxidization all that was left was in the numbers and letters. The stone is a hand cut quartz. It hangs on a 24 inch chain. Please email me for more information.
