New Designs

Its snowing outside again, so I am working on some new designs for my etsy shop.

Some I am carving and shaping by hand from wax, and some I have already cast into silver. My next step will be to clean these up in my studio, using my files, and progressive grades of sand paper, and my trusty dremel.

I am currently taking my inspiration from an industrial slant; mechanisms, machine parts and clean lines. Conversely I also look to the past, particularly the bronze age and the byzantium era. The juxtaposition of these two thought lines gives me some variety and interest, and an eclectic range.

Carve On.
