For the first time since metalworking class so many years ago, I’m trying enamels again. This time on fine silver. And, I’m loving it!
And then… I started building cages. I can’t decide if I like them better empty or…
…filled with pearls…
…or crystals.
It’s a good day to be in the studio!

This year for McLean County Arts Center’s annual Holiday Treasures which kicks off Friday, November 11, 2011, I’ve added an array of fused and coiled fine silver rings; some with added patina, some hammered, some au natural! Prices range from $20 ~ $35 for these “feel good” weighted rings.
