Personal piece I just finished up; its about my Schizophrenia/Schizoaffective Disorder and how it effects my life and relationships with others.
Debating on adding fringe to it or not... not sure if I should. I tried adding it and it just looked off for some reason to me... but my intentions WERE to add fringe to the bottom... maybe I should use the transparent beads and see how it looks.
I. Made. Metal. Things!!!!!
A satyr's statue from Piranesi, four bronze medallions. I'm planning on making sea glass and pearls necklaces for those, and maybe make smaller versions to add as pendants for bigger necklaces with carved shells and paintings.
Damn! I dreamed about becoming a jeweler for about ten years and thought it was a hopeless dream - I can't afford education and tools, don't have a place for a workshop and come on, I'm useless. Ha! I learned carving, little by little bought tools and equipment, my stepdad helped me set up a workbench, and here comes wax casting.
These four are available, and I can make more.

Probus Medallion (minted coin by Probus in 281)
The only extant (surviving) example of a gold medallion of emperor Probus (276-282 AD), this piece is both historically significant and visually stunning.
While it technically can’t be considered a coin (rather than having a legal tender value and being intended for circulation, it would have instead been given as a donative (gift) to a high ranking Roman), it’s similar in most regards, and so deserves a spot on this list.
The obverse features jugate (conjoined) busts of the emperor and the god Hercules, a symbol of military strength and Roman courage. And on the reverse, the emperor crossing the Rhine, coming back to Rome, victorious.
The river is personified, as was Roman and Greek tradition, lying in the waves below. On the ship we see Victory and Mars (god of war), Probus between them, along with two Roman soldiers.
