Great challenge! I got to experiment in ways that i wouldn't otherwise have done.

Embossed, LOS patina, black gesso & colored pencil.

Su -Quercus SIlver

This fine silver and keum boo brooch was inspired by the fine architectural details inside a famous Georgian chapel - The Octagon - in Bath, England. The chapel has been unused for some time and is in a gentle state of decay.

Sterling Silver, Lace Agate.

"This piece is still possibly a WIP, have not quite decided to add some elements hanging from the bottom or not. It is ALL cold connected with Rivets and the stone is made as a Tab Setting with a scalloped seat underneath for it to rest on. I used the 2" square of Sterling and 6" of wire. I have probably 5" of wire left and a handful of scraps from the 2" square, so much more can still be used, hence the wip status, decisions, decisions! It was quite delightful to make and will be working and experimenting with more cold connections because it was SO fun!"
