The studio has been lonely- missing me!- for the last couple weeks! Thank god for my trusty "student" Sasha, who gets me out there for at least a couple hours at least once a week... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have been getting really involved in my running (a race this weekend went brilliantly) and some amazing coaching opportunities that have developed, so the marks I've made recently have all been dusty footprints and sweat stains. Fair enough. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am today looking back at where I've been going and want to post a few pictures of the pendants I've been making for moms. Instead of the stamped kid's name on a disc (that you see everywhere-) I'm creating symbols based on
the meanings and root words of the names, and
incorporating them into an heirloom piece for the
mom to wear. I absolutely love the research
part, and since the design is up to me the
process is up to me, which makes D a happy
metalsmith. Still working on a website to focus
on this service exclusively... for now, though, you can visit
my ugly but functional Artfire studio to read the stories and
names behind these pieces:

(look under the "Gallery" tab~)

Forgive me the really weird set-up of these posts and pictures... this website gives me fits when it comes to controlling how posts will look- I do my best!
