I’m ecstatic to share all of the different works I’ve created over the years to all my new followers! If you like mixed metal art jewelry-this was a red breasted Grosbeak piece I created 2 years ago that sold at a local gallery.
It can be worn both as a brooch, and as a pendant. ❤️

Jewelry piece featuring a silver backyard bird, a rose breasted grosbeak that looks to the left- which are known for having thick strong beaks for breaking nuts. In the center of the birds chest, features a red round garnet stone. The piece is layered to give a feel of a children’s pop up book, and around the bird perched on a branch are different leaves and tendrils of vines created from gold fill and silver. The feet of the bird are created from half circles of wire, and are very cute. The wing of the bird features floral stamping, which is one of the artists trademarks when creating wildlife pieces. The back of the jewelry piece, shows how it can be converted from a pendant to a brooch. A pin that has two equal parts coming out from either side of a short piece of tube, will be pinched together and placed in a holder so when released, the tension of the pin will hold it in place. And when the wearer wants to remove, they will simply squeeze the pin together again and lift up. The back of the piece also features the stamped logo “woodland” to represent the makers mark. Piece is rested against a small branch with lichen on it. A wooden circular pedestal was used to place the piece upon.

I’ve created quite a few different styles of these floral teardrop necklaces, but this style is one of my favorites: Citrine for the focal stone and inside the flower is a spessartine Garnet. 🧡

Screenshot of a product item listing from Amazon. The item is a shiny blue 22lb anvil. It has a large, strange protrusion on one side, and the other side also comes to a point. It is used by jewelry makers and metalsmithing crafts-people, but it looks very bizarre. The sales price is around 43 dollars U.S.

Product description reads:
"Happybuy Single Horn Anvil 22Lbs Steel Anvil Blacksmith for Sale Forge Steel Tools W/Round And Square Hole and Equipment Anvil Rugged Blacksmith Jewelers Durable and Robust Metalsmith Tool"

In other art news, my #MetalSmithing class is going well— i managed to make a little pendant out of a little piece of glass i made a long time ago. The metal is all copper— it’s a little wonky, but it’s my first ever!

Now i feel like I want to get some jewelry-making stuff for home.

Copper pendant made around a fused glass square.
