Play Rings for idle times

8/3/2020

the Riding the crazy waves of current times, keeping busy in the studio, playing to keep busy, to keep the thoughts of 'what next?' at bay.

These are the Play Rings, the two left of a series of three of one of a kind work of some while ago.
The middle one in the picture below - Play Ring with Ball, lives in somewhere in arizona now.

The other two are hanging in there, telling each other stories in the tray of the work-to-refreshed.

after so much travel, these rings are currently in their refreshing mode...but stay tuned, will post here again when they are back for grabs!

just sold

7/21/2020

and so it is: cone+bar necklace not alone anymore!

it got picked. by someone special. someone who really connected with it.
it takes the time it takes, but they all find each other: the one who wears it, the one being worn...

a last shot, a long look at it, before letting it go...

and off we go... cone+bar necklace is off to philadelphia!

these little silver cubes

3/24/2020

along the way this march picked up some 'old' work sitting around on the bench, put these together, little sterling silver cubes.

they are tiny, super light despite their 'cubeness' and they definitely stand out!
some one of a kind mini work ready for a customer, who grabbed them on the go...

more of october colors

10/25/2019

and then these of course, more of your october colors, just with an angle...and still in tune!

simple, with less words... earrings for (f)all.

the colors we need

10/17/2019

sometimes we are prepared, sometimes we are not... so it's time to pin something down this fall, time to not let it all blow away... time to do it in a bold way, time to do it in daring contemporary style, time to do it in vivid colors.

so, advice for everyone to be ready for the gusts of fall, the scarf that blows over your shoulders, the pin on a lapel you have handy, to keep it all in place.

just playing with jewelry and combinations of color to be in tune with this month,
had fun playing with putting colors together, a black+orange line-up came out of it and is the main theme for the rest of the month.

all i can see is black+orange and nothing else seems to stick to mind...

the slices collection has landed!

7/23/2019

in the beginning

it all began by accident. and fun. and by having fun with accidents happening...
some while ago, quite a long while ago actually, and in full exploration mode i spent hours with a bandsaw and a bunch of copper, brass, silver pipes and tubes of all sizes and ...cut away!
'slices' of various sizes began piling up on my bench, some immediately finding their composition and combinations

the old band saw and a bunch of brass slices from an old batch

von 1 bis 10 Necklace (1991 c.) - slices of sterling silver and copper square tube..

in the interim

then last year i found a box tucked away in my studio and almost forgotten, and pulled out six 2" x 2" thin square slices in brass, almost as out of thin air....

big square slice earrings in the making

and these came out: the square slices!

the big squares

still in playing mode, i quickly put together six pairs of big thin square brass slice earrings, with a simple sterling silver ear wire and put them out to the world, without much thinking (did i mention that i was just playing?)

the medium square slice earrings in black brass

big and medium square slice earrings in black and yellow brass

and to my surprise, or maybe i was just caught off guard, these babies just flew off my earrings rack almost in no time and i found myself wondering... should i make some more?
people really liked them, why not?
but the experimental original 'slices' were gone and i had to start from scratch, slice them afresh from a pipe i could not find in my stash and with a band saw i no longer had...

in the interim 2 (or, re-thinking the squares..)

so, in the meantime, and given what i had and did not have handy, i decided to start from scratch. that is, make the 'slices' from scratch. yes, i have tools, luckily i have tools and with hands and tools, i can make things. it might take some time, but i can make things...

and...here we go:

making Square Slice Earrings from scratch!

helping hand

then someone gave me a gift....speed up the process a bit, you say?

and now, as i catch up to speed and can let my playing expand a bit further, just playing still...

the circles are in

so for now my little steps have taken me to add another style to the collection, and the circles are now rising, in 2 sizes and color finishes

the slice collection

and so now, to top it all off, i am happy to introduce (yes, right at the bottom) a new page just for the slices collection right off my website, that is just around the corner... check it out!

the last of the shard rings

6/25/2019

and so this one is GONE.
the last of the shard rings from a series of long ago...

it's fun to see them leave. happy together, the person, the object, the perfect match.
the little story behind these rings was indeed an inspiration, but really i just love the shape. shape, function, wear it as a ring, wear it as a pendant...wear it.

circle slice earrings

5/7/2019

into spring and looking ahead.
lots of work on the bench and the new slices collection is steadily growing.
the big squares have been selling out right from the beginning of the year and I recently added a slighter smaller size to satisfy the milder version of 'big'...

this week will be adding a new style to the line, here in preview...circles!

simple sequence of events in playing mode and so these new earrings came to life.

the big circles in black brass

the big squares and circles in black brass

they go well together with the squares and make a perfect mis-match pair for a daring and stylish earring statement.
don't you think?

a collection in the making...

the slices are coming!
I have been playing around with strips of brass and came up with some simple but pretty striking square earrings.: the big square slices are 'simple geometry with dramatic proportions' (they are 2" squares), extremely lightweight to wear making a very distinctive statement....dare a little!

Since the beginning of the year these new earrings have been best sellers the minute I released them out to the world. many people have also been asking about a smaller version of these bold earrings, and so.... introducing below the slightly smaller version of the squares, still big enough for a decisive impact, but taking a bit of the 'big' edge off in a 1.75" square.

the square slice earrings - black and yellow brass

from the early feedback i am receiving it seems that these are the perfect choice for someone who wants to be brave and fearless at the same time, but in a just a smaller scale. as the bigger version, they come in black brass and in yellow brass.
