    Announcement    Imagine visiting a world filled with faeries, dragons, mermaids and more. That is the place where I find myself while sculpting and drawing these mystical figures. Working in two medium; my drawings are available as giclee prints, while my sculptures are done in wax and later cast them in sterling silver. Fantasy jewelry featuring amazing sculptures in miniature which are made to be worn and detailed graphite drawings to enhance your surroundings.

    If you see something that you really like, but don't feel that you can afford to make the purchase all at once, you may want to consider a layaway plan. Etsy doesn't have a layaway option, but if you contact me directly I'll be happy to workout an installment plan with you by making payments through PayPal.

    Freshly cast Faerie and Rabbit. When a piece is cast and after the plaster is cleaned off, it goes in the "pickle" which removes the oxidation and brings the fine silver to the surface giving it a white tone. The silver shine will appear with polishing.

    About

    • The idea and a beginning sketch are the first part of the process -- I love being inspired by a new idea.
    • After the layout is complete I sculpt the entire piece in wax starting with the background, adding figures and details
    • The wax is mounted in a flask, fired in a kiln, the wax melts and molten metal is poured into the void left by the wax
    • It's always exciting to see the cast metal emerging from the plaster after casting
    • The finishing process includes removing excess metal by hand saw and grinders, rough polishing, patina and final polish

    Inspirations that travel from thought through wax to metal to wearable works of art.

    I've always been an artist. I've worked in a wide variety of media, but always felt I was strictly a two-dimensional designer specializing in pen & ink as well as computer design -- that is, until I took a jewelry class. I had been working with hand painted textiles and adding beadwork to them, but unhappy with the durability of my end product so took a jewelry class to see if I could learn any techniques to make those pesky beads stay on securely. After my very first night of class I had found a new passion - making jewelry.

    So that was the beginning of my journey into the world of jewelry and sculpture in miniature. My work has evolved a great deal since that first class and I'm excited to keep following my path to see where it leads and what wonderful characters I will get to know and create along the way.

      It's just me -- I'm the one that draws out the designs and I sculpt the wax for each jewelry design and cast it, I do all the photography, and package each order. My favorite part of the process is being inspired by a new idea and sculpting wax.

    Production partners

    • A Small Casting Company

      In order to be able to focus my time on design and sculpting I use this small business to cast some of my items.
