Some examples of the tiny things. Cladonia lichens cast in sterling, made into earrings. Sorry for the poor quality of the photos - I only know how to take decent ones in natural light and November in Finland doesn't give much of that. Maybe it's time to invest some money to a macro lens & and time into making a white box? (And a haircut.-..)
Some studies for sculpture
Sketches for a stake project The curved shape in the second picture was my reaction to the Armourer's Stake Anvil sketch by Jock Dempsey, found here - I want to make a long stake or beak iron, but even as the double-horn long stakes are beautiful, I find them rather clumsy in some situations - not the least in the tempering/hardening process. So I thought I'd make a long horn in the other end with a blunt-er tunnel stake in the other end, and borrow Jock's curved waist-idea to give the thing some balance. No idea whether it would actually work, eh! Got to make some test pieces first.
something emerged from plaster
this is my "healthy artist" face
evil
more blurry photos of unfinished waxes He looks a bit like a teenage girl wearing an abe lincoln costume. Hopefully I get that sorted soon...
Autumn cleaning, a necklace Sterling, various found steel objects, vintage mother-of-pearl buttons. Set with 4 labradorites and a London blue topaz. All sterling parts, including the turning clasp, made by me, starting from an hand cast ingot.
Made a ring for myself for a change. (Taking photos of the left little finger of your own hand is a challenge believe me.) Steel nut, sterling, set with 5mm finnish spectrolite with a dark blue flash. The kitchy gold & ruby ring is my mom's old. It's made by the infamous enemy of all independent precious metal workers of Finland (Kultakeskus.)
wax is going somewhere
men together today
Unfinished wax brooding on my desk.
Salt & vinegar patina on bronze (Applied cold, kept in plastic about a week.) Epic but not really waterproof.
aaaand more chasing. I wanted a flux cup with different sections for hard, medium and soft solder pieces so they won't mix up and make everything end in a disaster. Not very pretty but works ok.
First chasing attempt --- I'm fiddling around a saint/icon theme so I made this random saint and a falling whale. Saint of the Falling Whales sounds like a doom band name. You can see in the pitch an impression of a more serious attempt.
Things waiting to be cast in silver. (Cute lichens are cute aaarrrgh)
Chasing practices. It will hopefully have some enamel too.
