Today's side project while I worked on my snake boxes. A giant cabochon onyx set in sterling silver. A 40mm by 30mm genuine onyx cab turned into a pendant. The back plate made from a spoon, the loop as well, all hand formed to shape. The bezel was a prema

So tonight's piece is a lovely spoon I found out hiking. Just kidding. It's just a picture from tonight's hike. Took a break from silver for the night and had some fun out in Annadel with @spotty_dog85 and @derekc5555. Was a fun little walk in the park. #

Today's fourth adventure was actually a "wing it" repair of a moonstone. Utilizing the same idea as kintsugi, the Japanese art of fixing cracked pottery with gold, I inlayed and used fine silver to fill the space left by a crack in the moonstone. The ston

Here's number two of the rings from today. A beautiful little flower ring, with the stem wrapping to form the ring. I love how this one sits on the finger. #flower #sterlingflower #silverflower #sterling #sterlingspoon #spoon #spoonring #spoonjewelry #rep

I went out looking for some new spoons today, and now have three more items finished up today! I'm very happy with how this Cupid ring turned out. Again from a sterling spoon, this piece is incredibly detailed. #sterlingspoon #sterlingsilver #sterlingjewe

I also decided to put this spoon to use too. This lovely lady was on the handle of a location spoon, for Atlantic City for 1954. I decided to ditch the bowl, and wrap the handle like so, making her unexpectedly look like a mermaid. I love how it turned ou

I decided I would finish the first of my spoon rings tonight. I sized it to an 8, and buffed it, leaving me with this nice and shiny piece. #spoon #spoonring #silverspoon #sterling #sterlingspoon #sterlingsilver #sterlingjewelry #jewelry #handmade #reuse

Well, tonight's project. I couldn't be any fucking happier than I am with how this turned out. I can't believe it. I'm so proud of myself. This is a ring that, although repurposed, I made tonight using a smorgasbord of materials. This was a ring that wa

The first piece I've made with the sole intention of selling or trading. A ring made from an Ensenada spoon. I used the chief in a headdress as a statement piece on a band made from the handle of the spoon. The inside of the ring has ENSENADA engraved, as

I love these so much! Just finished these hefty little pieces. Two size 10 rings, each formed from a flattened twist of two pieces of 8 gauge sterling. These are definitely some masculine pieces. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Not sure if

So I made another. This ones a monster. So many twists. Solid sterling, 147 grams. It's a tad smaller than my first silver bangle, but it's definitely a hefty piece. Not really sure what I'm gonna do with it. #silversmithing #silverjewelry #silverballs #s

Today's other endeavor was this piece of art. After making the solid silver bangle, friends brought up the idea of copper. So I decided I would give it a shot. This photo is before polishing, but I'm already very excited with how it's turned out. Copper i

Some commissioned rings, these tiny things range in size from 1.5 to 6. Small rings definitely put forward some unique challenges, but I love making them. #silver #silversmith #sterlingsilver #sterlingjewelry #silverjewelry #handmade #jewelrymaking #jewer

Boo-Fucking-Yeah bitches! Fucking love this heavy ass piece of jewelry. This beast ways 4.6 Troy ounces. 145 grams. It feels so solid on the wrist. This piece of art is the largest piece of silver work I've made, and man was it an adventure. I touched on

I wasn't sure if I wanted to post this or not. I was gonna just post it once completed, but I have a lot of work left on this, and I'm just too stoked about it to not show where I'm at. This has been quite the learning process, with a lot of trial and err

Well, the boxes are at the point where I'm dealing them now. I'm very excited to be this close to done. Once sealed, I'll give them a week or two to dry and air out, and then I'll finally be able to put some snakes in them. #enclosures #build #carpentry #

I guess it doesn't really look much different than my everyday, but this was me as a hipster for Halloween. Pulled out all the accessories. Chrome bag. Starbucks. Big frame glasses. Beanie. Big frilly scarf. Flannel shirt. All of it. It was fun #hipster
