I had ore electroplated with gold to make pendants. The ore was mined in Sudbury, Ontario.

I did my first craft show! It was in North Bay, a nice little town with a supportive arts community. It was organized by The Treehouse boutique, a very nice independent jewellery store that sells Canadian handmade goods. I was very pleased with the results. Hope to do more!

"Floating" ore and CZ stones pendant. The pendant is stainless steel and glass and inside there are chunks of ore mined in Sudbury mixed with cubic zirconias. I am creating a line of jewellery made with locally mined ore taken from machinery that is sent for repair (my boyfriend is the man to see for that!).

A ring that I made that is sterling silver and brass with a piece of ore mined in Sudury, ON (my present dwelling). The ore has visible chunks of pyrite which gives it glints of gold in the sunlight.

Custom made straight jacket for a client. It's heavy canvas and leather straps. It was hand dyed after construction to give it a dirty "used" look and the leather naturally bled for an authentic look.

Does NIcki Minaj count as cosplay? She's cartoony enough. I made the pink bodysuit.
