My latest piece, a custom dog portrait pendant! My husky, Misty, provided the inspiration for this piece. Handcrafting through chasing, repousse & riveting allowed me to create a very strong durable piece! What dog breed do you think I should try next?!? #maker #process #howitsmade #huskies #craft

New! Deaths head moth in oxidized sterling silver. I made this piece through chasing and repousse, a hammering process. I am psyched with how 3 dimensional this pendant came out!

Last week I made this luna moth pendant and took pictures just in time to pack up for a show. Hand hammered using chasing and repousse in copper with a green patina. I love how 3D this piece came out and the patina color fade is awesome. SOLD

Like many of you the news has me permanently stressed these days. In order to stay motivated to keep making, I have been channeling my energy into learning how to skijor with my huskies this month. Today I would say we finally got it down! ❄️
