Three Simple Beauties

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

Amidst a series of other works, I was given the challenge to create some dynamic pieces of a simpler fashion. They are each sweet vignettes, with distinct personalities to match their new owners. Each piece required a different patience–I worked them continuously until completion, rather than setting them down at points to give myself breathing room. In this flurry of bench time, the first to come to fruition is a love-engagement ring commissioned by my dear friend Jamey:

The second is a simple and playful pendant for my Austria-bound neighbor Barbara:

and lastly, a gorgeous adaptation of my spiculum-pod forms, earrings for a local chef, for his wife Cheila:
