I delivered new pieces to Scout + Co in Steveston this afternoon. If you are in the area, try to drop in and see their amazing store. They carry a nice selection from a variety of (mostly local) Canadian artists, some as far away as Nova Scotia (where I grew up by the way). These lovely fold formed copper wire wrapped earrings and pendant some of my newest designs. #copper #foldform #jewelry #steveston

Broom Casting Silver and more...

Adventures in Silver Broom Casting I invited a few girlfriends for lunch today and one of them suggested we do broom casting.  Two of the ladies took a class recently and the other two (myself included) were intrigued by the concept and willing to give it a try.   With a new crucible, the first step is to flux it.   First lesson:  "do not add borax (flux) until the crucible is very hot" or else it will fly everywhere. Makes sense, right - LOL I retreated to my bench to do the deed.  Once I  heated the crucible, I added a little borax (flux) to coat it.

I made one in silver one (scraps and discar

Hey there, after being MIA on my BLOGGER for way too long, I'm gearing up to make a comeback in 2024. Keep your fingers crossed for me! I'm itching to dive back into my studio and shift my focus to enameling and silversmithing next year. Got tons of ideas I've been dying to try out, and my enamel stash is practically begging to be used. Speaking of stashes, with time zooming by, I've had this lightbulb moment that I'll never get through all my supplies in this lifetime. It's that classic artist dilemma, right? The more you have, the more you crave. So, in the spirit of decluttering and making room for new adventures, I'm planning to sell off stuff I know I won't get around to using. Thank goodness for the Facebook Marketplace – it's about to become my creative yard sale! Here's to hoping 2024 brings a whole lot of creative vibes and a tad more organization to my creative chaos!
