RESERVED
Millimeter by tiny millimeter the graver cuts through the sterling silver
creating the picture of something beloved:
koi.
This piece was inspired by the tiny babbling koi pond that sat right outside the window of our farm stay on the Hamakua Coast on the Big Island:
the weather was chilly, and the fish huddled under a lily pad
tails undulating with the tiny wind-blown currents of their home.
Engraving little pieces of Hawaii is my way of
sharing the energy of the island with those who take home the pieces I craft.
Just as delightful as the finned friend
is the cut of Agua Nueva Agate partnered in this necklace:
orange and yellow as a sunset (so difficult to capture in the chilly light of winter)
with lavender banding and a hint of parallax in the lower right hand corner.
You can reserve this piece if you wish with a simple
in the Metal Shop
And if no one claims her, I will list sometime this evening
or tomorrow morning.
With love from California,
Sunny

Mari Bean - me too!!! There is a letter in the mail for you today :) xoxox
Beautiful indeed! xx
I know that you're working on what comes to you right now, and I know your work is beautiful; I wanted to ask for advice. I'm looking for (fairly) inexpensive, unique matched wedding bands for my fiance and I, but I'm struggling. I don't know what I'm looking for; I just know I'll know when I see it. My engagement ring isn't huge and ostentatious, it's pretty and Tolkien-esque; we want it to mesh well with that, but I don't have a clue, otherwise. Do you know any metalsmiths that work with white metals that make wedding bands that I could peruse?
Just thought I'd ask, since your pieces are beautiful. :)
Mona - MUAH!! xoxox
Kristi - Thank you so much for asking me!! There are so many gifted metal smiths out there: drop me a convo in the Metal Shop (link on the right side of my blog) and I'll see what I can find out! xoxo
Gurrrlll...you're good...you're dang good.
Your koi are wonderful. This one is simply beyond graceful.
I would give anything to watch you work. Your pieces translate from leather to metal absolutely seamlessly.
Love love love :: lynn
