simple swirls

I love to make these simple swirl rings, this one is in gold filled wire, I also make them in sterling silver wire. I'll stop with the poppy pictures now, they are almost finished in the garden. I've started to acquire the necessities for soldering at home..lots of ideas are brewing! But until I'm up and running it will more wire for a while..

Ring on Poppy

My first commission! It was a boring commission: just a plain silver ring (what no hammering??!)I think I like the photo better than the ring, at least silver is reflective and that can add to its character!

Silk Knots

Boulder opal beads knotted on silk thread. It looks easy says my husband, but since I was teaching myself it took many hours of cursing and swearing, and I had to double over the thread to get it thick enough, but I think I have it figured out now for the next time!

Wire wrapped boulder opal

Since I haven't set up a proper studio at home *yet* I need projects to keep me busy for the days I don't have access to all the necessities of working with silver (called 'gold-smithing' ) Wire is my solace at home. This is a drilled-through boulder opal I made into a ring with gold-filled wire.

Hammered with love

My second ring project: for my 18 yr old son, graduating from high school. I hammered in alot of love and hope for the future. Rubbed with 'jax' to show the texture. He wears it, and that fills me with happiness.

First Ring

My very first ring, made during my first class with Karl. Sterling silver with a black opal from Lightning Ridge.
