    On the bench today are some earrings in process; I’m working on the silver to fit white topaz and garnet stones with different dimensions. Also on the bench is the fork tine I need to shape in order to set the stones. And at the top of the picture are some pieces of silver I…

    As I slowly take back my office from my own ‘stuff’, I’ve kept a few spots that remind me of my inspirations, and created a couple more spots. The angled ceiling gives me room to grown my photos up the wall to the left some more.   In the meantime, I’ve put placed more of my photos on a…

    Using the yellow molding rubber, I’m molding a bottleneck ring and also a custom order signet ring. I’d like both rings to be a little bit smaller than the originals are.  Inside the mold on the left is an earring in pink molding rubber that will become a pair of earrings set with clear topaz.…

    In my first step down on the beach I found some seafoam green bottle glass that had been worked a bit by the ocean. Bonus. The ocean air and 79 deg F plus weather were the main treats. I spent some time reviewing Ernst Haeckel’s “Art Forms from the Ocean” thinking about some new designs….

    This! Well, the table. The rolling mill was moved off the garage workbench to it’s new home. Now it can be bolted down. The vacuum caster will join it when we can figure out why it leaked after we tested it out (it’s a used Rey-Master Cast 5804. If you have a manual for that…

    Last night I spent several hours with my good friends Pat and Kathleen playing with Bronze and Copper metal clay for the first time. They are prepping for a hands-on workshop on Feb 8th in Los Gatos for the local metal clay group (SFBASCG.)  Both Pat and Kathleen had played with the new clays already; in…

    As I looked through the blogger gadgets the other day, I ran across the Miro gadget. The gadget’s Miro images reminded me of a visit to Fundacio Pilar i Joan Miro on Mallorca. The studio space was amazing, as were the views. The property is on a hill, overlooking the bay. The foundation holds print…

    A fresh iteration of the “Bottleneck” ring design. All peridots. Four flush set and one prong set. The ring is ‘fresh’ because it’s less than 2 hours old. 🙂 Please pardon the hot spots and other issues with the photos. I’ll take a nice photo for the website someday….
