A little about me (the artist) Item of the Month - Butterfly Pendant
Argentium Sterling Silver
I have my bachelor of fine art (BFA) with a concentration in metal design.
I studied art at East Carolina University, metal seemed to be my thing, so i ran with it.
I moved to Wilmington, NC shortly after graduation to work at Reed's
Jewelers as a jewelry repairwoman. I learned alot about craftsmanship,
working with gold, and how to set stones and fix the impossible. I
liked it but it was not what my heart desired. I wanted to create the
jewelry not just fix it.
So then I began working the craft fair market. I got a tent and began
doing festivals. I really enjoyed the festivals and would have
continued them but I was blessed with my son, and I put everything on
hold for him. You see it is impossible to use a torch around an infant.
This brings us to today, I am getting busy again, relearning and honing
my craft. I have amassed a good inventory and am beginning to show in
festivals again.
You can physically find my products at River to Sea Gallery at Chandler's Warf, Wilmington, NC
----------
I design fun wearable works
of art using .......
- traditional sterling silver
- Argentium sterling silver
- gold
- copper
- brass
- enamel
- Swarovski crystals
my techniques include, but are not limited to
- bending
- filing
- hammering
- soldering
- polishing
- torch fire enameling
- kiln enameling
- patination.
- WaterCasting
My designs are fabricated from wire and sheet metal, therefore
no two pieces are exactly the same.
---I recently discovered Argentium Sterling Silver, I will be making
the switch from Traditional Sterling to Argentium. Unless my products
are specified as Argentium it is Traditional Sterling. If you would
like a design recreated in Argentium feel free to contact me. The price will be 10%
higher as Argentium is more expensive. Pretty soon now I will be offering only Argentium Sterling Silver Products.
My blog can be a fun read if you like that sort of thing, it resides here
I do talk about my jewelry a little, it is mostly about my garden right now though.
