Dalton Ghetti carving in Lead

This man is completely amazing! I always thought I worked small. Everyone should check out Dalton Ghetti's work and see the little pencil art pieces!!!

Mix Match

So this piece was created from two different necklaces that I completely took apart.

I purchased both of them at Savers, it's actually pretty funny, I literally bought the three uglies necklaces in the store. Now they are all separated out and going to turn into, hopefully, real jewelry.

It's made of five red stones that I haven't identified yet, ten metal floral beads, along with gold chain, wire, and clasp.


I have identified the red stones, they are Red Jasper and I think they're fantastic!

What, buttons?

Yes I made these out of a bunch of random buttons that I've had gathering for years. I bailed them together with oxidized brass wire. Notice yet that I oxidize everything, I swear it makes everything ten times more amazing.

more with the TURQUOISE

This is another turquoise piece with copper wire and an oxidized sterling chain and clasp. Keeping it simple.

Silly Feathery Nothings

This is the first idea that I've played with and is extremely simple...I literally wrapped the feather with oxidized copper wire and hung it from a gold chain, but I really like it and have been wearing it. Hope to soon make many more feather pieces!
