This is a piece of bi-metal made of 24 K gold and fine silver. Look for it to be made into faces on some of my Goddesses.
This ring used to be some 14 & 18 K gold earrings and another ring. I melted it down and made sheet, from there I cut out the leaves and made the small grandules. The diamonds are chocolate in color. It has a very organic feel to it. This ring can be made of your old jewelry and stones that you already own. Prices range from $600 to $1800, depending on the time and materials provided.
I've studied jewelry & life at these places: The Old School House, County Wicklow, Ireland; John C Campbell Folk School, Duke University, Penland School of Crafts, NCSU Craft Center, Meredith College, The ArtCenter, Arrowmont and Makers Workshop. I have observed many interesting metal techniques in Peru, China, Korea, England, Ireland, Wales, France and a few other places. Russia and Italy are on the list to do also.
I recently studied with Harold O'Connor, at Wildacres. It was a wonderful workshop and has completely changed how I look at metal.
I just love working in metal.
Large welded outdoor sculptural pieces are made from found material and steel. I've made dragons, snails, praying mantises, tripods, huge sunflowers and tables with mosaic tops.

As Chatham Granny, I work primarily with scraps of wood, pieces of metal & found objects to make folk art. On the backs of many of these pieces, I place a story about how it was made, what materials were used, where they came from, their approximate ages and a list of some of the tools used.
