The Completed Horse Head

I completed the horse head pendant that I showed in my previous post.  Here are a couple of photos showing it before firing and after firing:



Have a great day!

New Fine Silver Metal Clay Pendants

Here are some new silver metal clay pendants I just finished.  A couple are for custom orders and some are for mew inventory to take to two different art shows coming up in October.






And, here is an unfired horse's head that I am still working on.  This is still in the raw pre-fired stage. He goes into the kiln today. Then he'll get tumbled in steel shot, patina'd, and finely polished. I sculpted the horse's head out of polymer clay first.  I cured the polymer piece, then made a mold of it and recreated it in fine silver.


Have a great day!

Completed Bird, Owl, and Starfish Pendants

I made a little progress.  Here are the bird, owl, and starfish pendants.  I still have to hang them.


What do you think?

Have a great day!

On my Work Bench Today



Here's what I'm working on today.  Several pendants in progress.  A dragonfly, a lighthouse, a bird, an owl, and more dolphins for a statement piece. 
     

And a special pelican that I'm still working out the design for.  Hopefully, he will be perched on pilings and have an opal.  More on that another day though...


Have a great day!

The Dolphins Have Arrived!

The dolphins I posted about earlier are complete!  You can see my two previous posts with in progress photos here and here.  The first photo shows them fresh out of the tumbler with a high polish.  The second photo shows them after I gave them a patina and repolished.  What do you think?  Which way do you like them best, patina or no patina?




Have a great day!
