Portfolio Example & Artist Statement

Handmade sterling silver beads are centered, punched in middle, domed. Soldered, filed, the polished. Other pieces are fabricated out of sheets of silver. The pieces inlaid with either a flat mosaic or corn rolled/cobblestone inlay. I use natural gem stones. Sea shells and stabilized Kingman turquoise. The inlay is glued in with super glue and 5 minute epoxy. After glue hardens the Accents are created with diamond drill bits then re-inlaid with silver and other stones or shells. Stones are polished with sapphire power. Silver is then polished with various waxes.
