Snag Pin Swap Goodies
The Snag conference is just a day a way and i’m squirming like a toddler on Christmas eve. This event will be a fantastic opportunity to meet other metal smiths, have my portfolio reviewed, and see loads of art, speeches and demos.
If you’re local to Seattle and want to see some of the fantastic jewelry art for your self, please join the Gallery Crawl next Friday (5/27) starting at 5pm. Find more info and a map here.
One of the 1st events is the pin swap so I thought I’d share some of the pieces I’ve made to share and trade with other artists.
Ring a Week – Weeks 10-13
Ideally I’d be sharing this post as ‘Ring a Week – Month Three’ but since it’s May I guess it’s pretty obvious that I’ve seriously fallen behind schedule. Things have been busy in the studio an I am catching up. Here are my rings for weeks 10-13.
- RAW 10/52: Seamless Titanium Washer Ring
- RAW 11/52: Rough Cut Stacking Ring
- RAW 12/52: Ember and Frost Ring with faceted Labradorite and Iolite
- RAW 13/52: Citrine Pyramids Ring

So what’s a Blog Carnival you ask? On the 1st Monday of each month, EtsyMetal members pick a topic to all blog about. This month’s theme is to share some pages from our sketch books. I hope you enjoy and check out some of the other member’s blogs too.
Before I begin work on a piece, I often start by drawing many variations until I come up with the look I want.
