Show and Tell Time

Well, yes, I have been attending a jewelry course down here in Argentina, and so I thought I'd show you it is I have been working on. I carved each of these pieces in wax first, then had them cast in silver. Sounds easy, right? Not exactly, but I have found that I really love carving wax and being able to transform my drawings into 3D objects. I have a great teacher, Carlos, who is also just really funny to be around, so I often stayed at school, carving away for 8 hours a day (like a "real" job!). Here's what I have finished so far:

A reminder to wear on your wrist...

A simple and sweet bird...

For the shell collector...

This is one half of what will be a small seashell locket...
All of these pieces are to be incorporated into my "Summer 09" jewelry line. There's more coming, too-rings! Stay tuned...
