All of these pieces are rings made of sterling sliver, most of which I've oxidized. They are very sculptural and most (I think all of them) are too fragle, sharp, and even heavy/awkward to wear. These are still some of my most treasured art works that I've made.
This ring was made from casting a real leaf. This piece is very fragile and the one that I'm MOST PROUD OF. After I finished casting and cleaning up the ring, I soldered a tube setting on the leaf, oxidized it, and set a mystic topaz gemstone in the tube setting.
Here is part of a Holly-hawk seed pod and wax band that I sculpted, then cast into sterling. This piece has also been oxidized.
Here is a piece of Milkweed seed pod and wax that I cast into a quite unique ring. After I cast and cleaned the ring, I oxidized the seed pod to bring out the details and epoxied in little (micro) colorful, metallic balls.
This ring is my Wheat Ring, again it was cast out of wax and a piece of weed/wheat that I found. It is 100% silver and the wheat has been oxidized.
This is my Topless Ring... all cast sterling silver and oxidized.
