Sterling Guitar Pick

This guitar pick is hand cut from a sheet of recycled sterling silver, shaped smooth with the bastard, sanded smooth round the edges then finished matte.

Plays a gorgeous tone. This is a treasure for many of my musical friends.

I have been experimenting with some hand stamping. I purchased some just fantastic forged hand tools from Kirsten Skiles (etsy), and they are great to play around with. I have my mind wrapping around some art deco designs lately, so don't be surprised if some interpretation of the 1920's and '30s start to worm their way into my work.

Long Time

It's time to apply CPR to the blog!
A new year seems as good a time as any to be thinking of taking this a bit more, not seriously, but maybe visiting more often!
I am designing new rings and just hope to get the time to spend in the studio to bring some of them to fruition!
