We have been collaborating artists our entire married lives. Our work is always evolving. The experiences we share, or individually participate in, become a part of what we create. Bruce photographs and throws pots and I paint and create jewelry and other objects from precious metals. Bruce's photos are sometimes the inspiration or reference for my paintings and often times I sculpt and carve into his pottery. The results from our combined knowledge and skills becomes something beautiful that we enjoy sharing. Enjoy.

Tufted Tit Mouse Earrings!

Spring is coming and I wanted to post these little guys. They are the size of a nickel and for anyone working in metals, you will appreciate the time these earrings took to make. There are three layers here. I cut the back rings from discs and cut the birds out separately, stamping all their details with various chisels and center punches. For the branches I fused and reticulated 20 gauge round wire (of course, everything is sterling). Once I completed all the parts, I then soldered them together. I finally put them on Etsy. Sometimes it takes me a while to post my work because I just like keeping them for awhile and enjoying them before they leave!!! Is that silly?
