Red Galaxy Earrings - Sterling Silver Wirework

Red Galaxy Earrings - Sterling Silver & Jasper Daggers

Between all my projects, I managed to squeeze a little time in to make some earrings!  I've finally delved into sterling silver jewelry - unless specifically requested, my jewelry will now be made with sterling silver and gold-filled metals (though I will probably bring in warm copper now and again).  No more plated base metals in my new designs!  YAY!

Jasper Daggers - deep red wit white and green inclusions

I've been watching a lot of Star Trek: The Next Generation with my husband recently, and I think I was subconsciously inspired to create a design with clean, simple lines.  The jasper daggers really do look like red galaxies or Milky Ways spread across their surfaces.  Very pretty!

There is a pendant in the works, too - one of my first with a wire weave and bead setting!  Photos coming next week.....

Happy Creating,

DnD Minis - Winter Dragon

By the end of July I hope to have another sneak peak of my large metal art piece that I'm working on....until then, here is another DnD mini!  My latest and last painted model, in fact!

Model by Reaper:  Fire Dragon.  Hand-painted by me (I don't have an airbrush so it's all done with tiny paintbrushes).  The base is a chunk of mica with "snow" added. 

I found the shadows particularly difficult in this model because I wanted him to look like snow, all white with blue shadows.....He also has rather stormy eyes with tones of gray, almost like he's blind....

Enjoy and Happy Creating,
