Scissors Brooch

I made this new pin a couple of weeks ago. Since a lot of my 2D works deals with overlapping linear drawings of sewing notions I decided to make jewelry using the same technique. I just traced one of my prints and pierced the design out of brass. I love how this format makes the designs even more abstracted. I'm thinking of making different pieces of jewelry and break out of the circle. I'm super excited!

EDIT: I lost this brooch!! I'm so sad about it but I hope someone found it and loves wearing it.

menagerie

Since I was little I always collected little plastic animals amongst a lot of other little things. But I had these animals for a while and never knew what to do with them so I figured I'd make some jewelry!

Everything besides the duck pond ring are one of a kind pieces because I really have no idea where I got those animals. And the poodle ring and snail ring are not for sale because those are my two favorite, the poodle came from a polly pocket set and the snail was always on my dad's dresser and eventually he gave it to me. 

I set up a new section in my shop called menagerie where all of these little creatures are for sale. I can't wait until one of them are adopted!

 

 

 

Notions : BFA Exhibition

Last week my BFA exhibition was displayed in the art building and it's such a relief to have it done at this point. The first three pictures are of my installation of the giant pincushions and images of just a couple of my jewelry pieces. I had about 15 pieces of jewelry and 8 pincushions in total.

Printmaking

Right now, my show is up! I'm so happy with what I've made but now I'm already wondering what it's gonna lead to. But for today I wanted to deviate from my metal work and display what I'm doing in other classes specifically relief printmaking. These are images from my first two projects.
