Bedrock. A silver hinged box with three prong set stones (2019).
I chose the title because a jewelry box is like a bed because beds store us when we are not “in use,” or active throughout the day. The item that lays in each container is important—if the objects never rested, the cases would not have a purpose.
Roads of Hope. Brass bowl and copper lid, acid-etched, soldered, finished with a heat patina. Winding roads often lead to hidden treasures if you look hard enough. Inspired by Spaghetti Junction.

Flower Ring. Copper, enamel using Plique-a-jour and lost wax casting techniques
Wall Panels. Copper, enamel using En Plein technique
Reversible Necklace. Copper, nickel, enamel.

The above images are of jewelry made from silver, brass, copper, and nickel. Techniques include enamel (Plique-a-jour, En Plein), acid-etching, cuttlefish casting, lost-wax casting, and soldering.
