Some favorite makes of 2025. #artjewelry #foundobjectart

Current state of mess in the studio.

My latest antique finds. Think I’m going to really enjoy the little vise on my bench.

Some luck inducing rings for the new year.😂

I enjoyed making the Paprika Punk brooch so much that I’ve already begun another skull piece in a similar style. This one will be a necklace.

The finished brooch Paprika Punk that was sold during the Repair Days auction at the Metal Museum in Memphis.

Finishing up this brooch “Paprika Punk” for the upcoming auction to benefit the Metal Museum in Memphis.

Bryan and I are teaching a 5 day workshop in Colorado this August just outside of Denver. We’ll be using found objects, semi precious metals along with cold connection techniques (no torch). You can register at www.artmakers.live/workshops/p/...

Look at this gorgeous yellow album I scored recently. I’m thinking it will make great eyes for a black cat brooch.

A glimpse into my studio. I like to use found objects in my art AND as shelves.😂😂 also, I’m a sucker for old oil cans.
