6th Street! Inspired by Austin's infamous night life!
New Pendant with my stylized 6!

Buy this here on Etsy!

Hand-forged with Dix Gold, an alloy of Copper and Brass,
this pendant can be quickly polished to temporarily look like Gold.
I prefer my life a little tarnished as I've not yet seen anyone with wings.

Half Circle and Aoemba pendant

I love beating on metal! Metal-smithing to see what interesting shapes I can hammer out and colors I can create with fire-scale is endlessly fascinating to me. This piece is Nickle Silver and Copper.

Fine Silver Palmetto Pendant

Stylized Palmetto Tree from fine silver. You can't live in South Carolina for so long and not utilize a beautiful resource like our state tree! This multi-faceted process began with my stylized original sketch, progressed to a clay model, then a mold, then shaped silver clay, then the fun part - FIRING IT! Although each is individually hand-crafted in a labor intensive technique, there will a small edition from this original mold of my Palmetto Tree. This one graces a strand of semi-precious peridot and moonstone.
NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

Budweiser pendant from Blue Sky painting detail

This is such a fun piece! Set in pewter and resin, it's a photographic detail from one of my husband's life-size Portable Parking Space paintings -- a squashed Budweiser can. Shown photographed on one of his paintings created in Cornwall, England. This pendant is definitely a conversation starter!
