Three ovate or lanceolate shaped leaves created with 24 gauge copper sheet using a metalsmithing technique called fold forming. They have small rings on them where the stem would be. It’s difficult to take close up photos of shiny metal and the stupid iphone camera software makes these look less tangible and overly processed. But still, they’re pretty.
Leaves made with old roofing copper I scavenged from our local scrapyard #repostyourart #autumn #metalsmith

A ring in the form of an orrery
I finally found pictures of my Orrery ring! It made it through a good number of rounds in the annual battle of the rings smackdown and show in Seattle. So finicky to make. I'm really proud of it. #Orrery #SolarSystem #smithSky #metalsmith #jewellery #patiTozerArtist

A mysterious disc shaped silver object with about a hundred holes for crews and I hate every single one of them.

So if you recognise what this is please don't comment words people could search for or that would get the attention of sportsball feeds. I'm serious. 😬
Can give updates in 1-2 month what I actually did here.

ooh, and another question, have you heard of Rinderr? I have been told it's like Tinder but for rings 😂. Looks interesting! www.rinderr.com/en #SmithSky #Silversmith #Metalsmith #Goldmsith
Makers - when you price your pieces, and you work out your time do you include design time, or only making time?

I'm hearing a lot of people talking about making with bronze lately. Would love to hear what people think of it? #SmithSky #Silversmith #Metalsmith #Goldmsith
#SmithSky The podcast that my academy has put out did an episode this week on dealing with the rising cost of metal - thought it might be useful to you guys. www.jewellersacademy.com/blog/running... #Silversmith #Metalsmith #Goldsmith
Throwing out a few questions to get us started. #SmithSky #Silversmith #Goldsmith #Metalsmith
How're things? What have you been working on this week?
Are you having any conversations with your customers about the volatile metal prices? What is their feedback?
Is in-person doing better than online?
Trying to finish up a commission piece today. There will be two oval opals in the settings. #metalsmith #jeweler #silversmith #smitthsky

I was inspired by the tutu of a Degas bronze I saw at the Norton Simon Museum.
It’s sits on a brass easel in my living room.

A question for the #Silversmith #Goldsmith #Metalsmith types, do you have a signature style? Do you feel like people can see something you've made and recognise it as one of yours? Is that important? Ok, that's three questions lol.
#SmithSky
A flat-lay style image of a series of botanical and constructed items including rose petals, mushroom tops, slag, perfume and rings.
I think I did this for some sort of challenge set by Via Hedera. My tools of the trade, so to speak. One set of them, anyway.

Sterling silver pendant. The top half is a bear walking against a background of mountains, the bottom half is a cabochon that looks like river rapids.
Inspired by that 7 day period every year where folks watch bears eat lots of food before hibernating (the name is trademarked 🤷)…..the Tahoma Agate stone looks like river rapids 🐻🐟⛰️
One of a kind pendant.

Long narrow sterling silver pendant. The main stone is clear toward the bottom, the rest is whit and orange background with three green cogwheel shaped designs with orange centers. A top accent stone has the same white, green, and orange combination.
Check out this incredible Cogwheel Ocean Jasper!! It’s old stock; I bought the stone in 2012 and fussed with different designs over the years before deciding to go with something minimalist to showcase the stone.

I did this painting over a decade ago. This is the office it went to hang in.

I’ve been getting more opportunities to practice resetting center stones. Today I reset two ovals, a pear, and a marquise shaped diamond(s). Most of the rings required prongs to be rebuilt and all of them required some retipping.
I wish I could take pictures to share! #goldsmith #metalsmith
