It's all about the flower...

Lately, I have been working with copper to make free from copper flowers with natural stones, pearls and crystals. It really is fun and I never know exactly how the shape will come out. Some of them have been dipped in a patina to give a vintage look. What do you think?

Elbow Calamity

Since my dislocated elbow calamity 3 weeks ago, I have been trying to work on different cold connection techniques to strengthen my arm. It is amazing how much we take our limbs for granted. I've been grateful that my pain has lessened even though I have to take things a little slower.

I am looking forward to work on marketing my work and try to do some more art shows.

The West Main Artist Co-op in Spartanburg will have an Open House on Saturday June 25th from 10am-4pm with light refreshments. It is located on 578 West Main St. near the Coca Cola plant downtown. Come by and take a look at all the art work by 46 artists from the local community.

Metal Collage

My latest pendant is a collaboration of different cold connection techniques. In this piece I incorporated rivets, hammering,layers, folding, and patinas to give some interesting effects. It is my tribute to modern collages that I used to do in high school or college on paper.
