A 'line' of lines?

These are a couple of things I created last week - they have one thing in common - LINES! Maybe I can do a 'line' of lines?


Sterling and garnet

This pendant was made with the leftover from cutting the top one down to size. :)

And this is a type of fold forming called score and fold. Sterling

The 2007 East Coast Jewelry Artists Retreat!

The 2007 East Coast Jewelry Artists Retreat went off with flying colors! Everyone had a great time and we all learned a LOT of new things!

I did my first hinged piece (and my first real pierce/sawing work)! Fabricated from sterling sheet, sterling tubing, bezel wire, MOP, and a rhodocrosite....hit some bumps on the way but end result is workable!






I also did some more fold forming! This is a score and fold copper piece with sterling and rutilated quartz.








here is a pic Wendy took in her cube.....the sterling piece isn't set yet and the chain (Jen's Pind) isn't finished...but there is my FIRST try at repousse'! Its done without a sketch or pattern, I was just trying to get the feel for the pitch and the chasing tools. Kind of looks like two catepillars though, doesn't it?





I can't wait to do this again next year!! 2008 East Coast Jewelry Artists Retreat - here I come!

A busy week last week!!

I wanted some items to put out to sort of 'exhibit' at a small jazz festival/show - I wasn't able to complete all of these for the show, but I did get them done shortly thereafter. Some rings, pendants, cuffs...

It was a hard but great week!
