Man in the Moon Necklace, Ocean Jasper and Sterling Silver

I previewed this piece recently at Creating the Hive as a work in progress. It's finished now, and I'm pretty pleased with the result.

Man in the Moon Necklace, featuring a very unique Ocean Jasper cabochon and Sterling silver moon complete with craters and a star filled sky. Chain is hand made sterling silver 23" long.

When I cut this stone I knew immediately what it would be. It has a bubbled druzy edge forming the moon's nose. One of the orbs in the ocean jasper forms the man in the moon's eye. To call this piece one of a kind is quite an understatement. Posted on Etsy & Artfire.

Hummingbird and Trumpet Bush Sculpture

My newest piece is one I've been working towards since I started making these sculptures. I needed to practice some techniques and sharpen a few skills before I felt ready to take this on. I've got to say I'm very pleased with the result.

Hummingbird and Trumpet Bush Copper and Cholla Cactus wood Sculpture on an Oak base. Approximately 14-1/4" high x 12-1/2" x 6-12".

The challenge in creating this piece was to make the hummingbird appear to be in flight, hovering as it feeds upon a flower. I wasn't sure if the metal piece used to crate the beak would be strong enough to support the bird's body. I was pleased to discover that it was ridged enough.

I love the way hummingbirds appears to be suspended in mid air while they feed.

This piece has additional views pictured in my Etsy and ArtFire shops
