One of my new pendants dropped on the ground when I was unloading the kiln and split in half. Repaired with a little copper wire ready for a cord and a new home #ceramics #repair #jewelry #maker #art #pendant #clay

From rough casting to rough ring blank. Do one more fitting and then we prep for stone setting #art #maker #jewelry #ring #casting

My collection of work from grad painting class. I enjoyed working out this process and playing with color this semester. This was my last critique as a grad student at UA. On to new things #maker #art #carving #painting
