The Evolution of a Design...
I had jury duty last week and spent the entire morning reading about stone setting and sketching some new designs. I was the very last person chosen to go through the jury selection process and was never questioned. Overall the day was a success! I did my civic duty and spent my free time working on creative designs.
Here are few progress shots of one of the lariat necklace designs.
I will add some more as I finish it up.
This is the sketch drawn around the stones.
These will get cleaned and polished before setting the stones.
Still lots of work to do...

Happy February!
It has been a productive year so far!
I am working hard in the studio this past month replenishing my stock
and designing some new things for 2012.
My Atlanta friends can find my work at Kudzu and
I will be showing some new work at the RAD show on Feb. 11th.
I would love to see your smiling faces!
My new goal is to try to post more studio shots and show some works in progress.
I am inspired by my fellow metal working friend Louise O' Dwyer
Who has been posting her works in progress.

When you want to play with fire!
Torches!
They seem to be the subject of conversation among silversmiths, goldsmiths and metalworkers...
Some torches are great for small jobs, and others do a fine job on larger projects.
When first starting out it is hard to know what you need...
Here is a short video on torches
to help any of you who are getting ready to dive into the world of soldering jewelry!
Play safe!
