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

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! ❄️

It was a gorgeous winter morning for a walk with the dogs ✨

Hammered out a practice piece in copper today. This is my husky Misty, I drew an outline from a photo. Glued the outline onto my copper and I chased the image in. Chasing involves hammering small tools into sheet to create a 3D drawing. I will make this in silver next! #craft #dogsofbluesky #process

In this video I’m adding some texture to these peace lily earrings. All my textures are made through different hammering techniques, many of which use this cross peen hammer to get long line marks.

Stamping my logo onto these peace lily earrings. Every piece also says USA and the metal, in this case ‘Brass’

Sawing silver sheet for some upcoming orders ! It’s important to get the most out of a sheet of silver, to minimize scrap pieces I scribe on my marking lines after figuring out how to best arrange my shapes to fill the sheet before cutting.

I spent the day cutting metal for future jewelry. Here I am sawing different flower blanks out of brass sheet, these pieces will be for an order from the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden gift shop!
