I got some semi-decent photos of some of my other recent projects... Photographing jewelry is a major PITA. I'm having difficulty getting the lighting right.
Silver oak leaf pendant. It really IS silver...I just used liver of sulfur to give it the autumn leaf patina. I made it in a class at the Puget Sound Bead Festival when I went out to visit Monkey Girl. Started with sheet silver, cut and pounded and soldered. I'm happy with it!

Pod Ring. Also from a class at the festival. Not really my style, but there's some cool weaving on the sides, and I'd never made a ring out of wire before. :) I'm including two pics, because one is a close-up, while the other features Usna, my baby who won't sit still for photos! OK, so it's only the top of his head, but that's more than I've gotten before. :-D


Finally, here's an experiment (note the copper!). It's a woven bezel made for a cab. I think it turned out pretty damn good for a first attempt.
