Stainless Steel Wedding band For my Sister March 2011

promise is a promise

I have been a little lazy with the documentation and diligence in updating this blog but as I promised more then year ago some pictures from my recycled body of work.This Untitled bangle bracelet is made from reclaimed plywood and Plexiglas from a construction dumpster.  The idea of married plastic and wood was mine but Alex Moon ended up doing majority of construction of this particular piece and has graciously taken a beautiful picture for me.   The collection consists of four bracelets and were exhibited at the annual Calgary Rock and Lapidary Show May, 2011. 

FELT!
A new experimental line of FOUND MATERIAL art jewellery.

ALUMINUM, WOOD PLASTIC weird junk...
all recovered before the dooming destination of the landfill. these bright and funky designs are spontaneous one of a kind pieces full of fun. In the corporate and industrial industry little thought is given to recyclable materials in their natural form and my premise is to take these beautiful shapes and give them a new life on the body.

There is absolutely more pictures to come

Ok ITS FINISHED!

Huge repair job of seeds over 80 hours, 6 weeks, and 10 tie offs of obsessive self-induced pain. This antique necklace had been broken in three places and the clasp falling apart. It was turned down by other jewellers and for good reason. Now I can catch up on all the other repairs and new pieces I want to make.

Sneak peak of my new work!
