as of late

I've been trying to design some jewelry pieces after receiving some great complements when I wear things I've made.  I'm specifically obsessed with earrings right now.

These are the forms that started it all.  

I've made them in silver and now copper.

I really like copper, especially the aged brown copper.  I'm still working on finding a patina that ages the metal.  Certain chemical reactions will speed up the oxidation process and create that rich brown color I like.

Brass.

Natural patina.

This was an accidental patina.  Still trying to figure out how to authentically recreate it.

For now, only two pairs exist.

Brass.

These are a favorite.

Kind of art deco-y.

Brass.

Some rings in process.

Again, I'm really in love with aged copper.

I wore one of my rings for a few hours and it turned my finger green.

Gotta figure out a way to keep that from happening.....

Earrings in progress.

Well, there you go.

I'd like to come up with a name for this jewelry line but I'm not having any luck.

I think I want it to be a name, but not my own name.

Not sure what direction to go in really....

We'll see.
