“Tattered Tutu”
8” x 8”

Abstract
I was inspired by the tutu of a Degas bronze I saw at the Norton Simon Museum.
It’s sits on a brass easel in my living room.

A question for the #Silversmith #Goldsmith #Metalsmith types, do you have a signature style? Do you feel like people can see something you've made and recognise it as one of yours? Is that important? Ok, that's three questions lol.

A flat-lay style image of a series of botanical and constructed items including rose petals, mushroom tops, slag, perfume and rings.
I think I did this for some sort of challenge set by Via Hedera. My tools of the trade, so to speak. One set of them, anyway.

Sterling silver pendant. The top half is a bear walking against a background of mountains, the bottom half is a cabochon that looks like river rapids.
Inspired by that 7 day period every year where folks watch bears eat lots of food before hibernating (the name is trademarked 🤷)…..the Tahoma Agate stone looks like river rapids 🐻🐟⛰️
One of a kind pendant.

Long narrow sterling silver pendant. The main stone is clear toward the bottom, the rest is whit and orange background with three green cogwheel shaped designs with orange centers. A top accent stone has the same white, green, and orange combination.
Check out this incredible Cogwheel Ocean Jasper!! It’s old stock; I bought the stone in 2012 and fussed with different designs over the years before deciding to go with something minimalist to showcase the stone.

I’ve been getting more opportunities to practice resetting center stones. Today I reset two ovals, a pear, and a marquise shaped diamond(s). Most of the rings required prongs to be rebuilt and all of them required some retipping.
I wish I could take pictures to share! #goldsmith #metalsmith

A small sheet of silver in the palm of my hand
The silver held between my fingers
Do you want to see what £100 will get you in silver bullion these days? No mark-up for time or artistry, just the pure silver. 100m x 80mm, 0.5mm thick.
This is the price from my supplier, they have some markup on it of course. But still. 😔 #SmithSky #Metalsmith

A pendant featuring a colourful blue stone and a motif of bare trees.
Seems like every day I need to add more blocked words and tags here. It's a drag. So here is a necklace I made when I first started making jewellery. The centre stone is opalized wood - such colours! Like a spring day.

I’ve posted this before. It’s a gift wrap I did for my neighbor…Xmas book club gift exchange. Assignment was over-the-top wrap. The theme of the gifted book was Victorian, botany, kind of dark academia…loved doing this one.

Knife edge agate burnishing tool with bamboo handle. Not the best quality, but the stone itself is smooth and shaped well enough. I’ll use it for stone setting, gold leaf, and scoring cardstock. Maybe other things as well.
Wanted fresh epoxy for a kintsugi project, and was faced with adding $6 to my order or pay $8 in shipping, so I purchased this cheap agate burnisher. The bamboo handle was rough and covered in blobs of glue, but I fixed it up and think it’ll be quite useful #artstudio #artsupplies #metalsmith

A question for #SmithSky, do you have a go-to resource for help identifying stones? I have a few that I didn't keep great records for when I got them, and I think I know what they are, but sometimes it can be hard to be sure. #Silversmith #Goldsmith #Metalsmith #HandmadeJewellery #HandmadeJewelry

I’ve been thinking, could we do with a #SmithSkyHour on here? On a Sunday evening perhaps? Not for promoting, there are other hashtags for that, but for networking, sharing what we’re up to, building community? For #Goldsmith #Silversmith #Metalsmith #SmithSky peeps?

Okamoto Yoshiko (b. 1976) Okamoto started as an illustration book artist and author in Yamaguchi prefecture, where she spent her young adult period depicting the beautiful four seasons and stories of nature found in her everyday life. Enrolling in arts and craft classes conducted by a Living National Treasure metalwork artist Yamamoto Akira (who also comes from Yamaguchi prefecture), shifted her direction to become a metalwork artist. After graduating college, she became a pupil of Mr. Yamamoto and learned his specialized technique of Hagiawase (heat welding method with metal forging) and Kiribame-Zogan (heat welding method with cutout inlay). Her working motif has remained the same throughout her artist's career that is an endless story of nature woven by the four seasons in which she incorporates poetic and musical aspects. This is done by using gradation of many layers of colorful tones of metal. Hagiawase (矧合) is a traditional Japanese metalworking technique involving the forging and heat-welding of different colored metals—such as copper, silver, shakudō, and shibuichi—to create intricate, multicolored, and often flowing patterns on a single, seamless surface. It is used to create art pieces, such as vases, and in samurai armor.

A silver chain on a white piece of paper.
People who know about this sort of thing, what would you call this type of chain? I’ve had it since the 80s.

Image of computer controlled programmable kiln controller for lost wax casting burnout. Features a touchscreen LCD panel to start/stop and manage burnout.
Images is of a computer controlled kiln controller and a Neycraft brand manual temperature controlled kiln.
I built a new kiln controller. This time with touchscreen display. This is the 3rd kiln controller I've built. Same Neycraft manual kiln for ~30 years. Need to remove plastic film and finish screwing together, but test fire was 💯 #lostwaxcasting #jewelrymaking #silversmith #metalsmith #goldsmith
