New Work!

I leave for my jewelry show in Las Vegas this Thursday, and I finished up my new pieces just in time! Here are a few things from my Gothic line...


These are from my Baroque line...


I've been taking plenty of photos of my process, but I've been very neglectful of actually posting them to my blog. My goal for this series was two-fold...

In the past, I've always displayed my work by color, which looked great, but it was all a little higgly-piggly. I'd end up with a super modern necklace next to a medieval style gargoyle. For this show, I wanted to group my work thematically- I've got my new gothic line, the baroque series, and the clean modern line. (pictures coming soon of that, I promise!)

I've also been really exploring my grinding/polishing process. It's one of the steps that you can't skimp on, so I really explored some new techniques and took copious notes this time around. If you are interested in my exact polishing steps, let me know, and I'll do a step-by-step post later...

So I am so excited to do my first Vegas show. And excited in general to go to Vegas! (Haven't been there since my elopement 5 years ago, but that's a whole different blog...)
