laurieopal

I'm finishing up my day. I have a group of designs ready to cast and I've been working today on rings for Worldcon. And I'm still working on the bronze griffin sculpture holding the Ethiopian opal.  And more. It's very intense.


This is a stunning boulder opal ring that I finished very recently.  It's sterling and about 1" high.





From the collection of Linda Garrett

I'm starting an intense life of both jewelry and photography right now. I have a lot of very interesting commission work. And the Memory Landscapes panel at Fog con was very useful and inspiring. (Please check it off on Wiscon 39 Programing Wiscon 39 Programingif your interested. It's a the bottom of "Feminism and Other Social Change Movements" under "already staffed".)

Vase pendant was made some years ago. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to photograph it. It's from a time in my work pre-LJ when I was rarely taking photos of my designs. Vase is jasper, coral in antique Victorian and pearl is fresh water and pink. I have it to lengthen the chain and it was a pleasure to see it again.



This is another view of Rebecca Burgess' opal ring. Opal is far more brilliant but the colors are much closer to the original.
