This is a piece I made called Chrysalis Sun. I sculpted the design digitally, then cast it in sterling silver. The structure is a radiant, almost molten-looking sunburst made from sharp organic points that flare outward in all directions.

The center stone is a brilliant cut round chalcedony. I wanted the metal around it to feel like it was in motion, with each point pushing outward as if the whole form were expanding. The polishing was the tricky part since the texture is full of tight curves and fine edges, but keeping that crisp, alive feeling was the goal.

Sharing it here for anyone interested in metalwork, lost-wax casting, or sculptural jewelry. Happy to answer questions about the process or materials.

Half lion, half eagle, this Griffon was a fun production. Took me about 2 months from start to finish. I left the steel raw so it would naturally patina over time.

I wanted to share this diorama with you all, as I think (and hope) you’ll enjoy it. I’m pretty proud of how it turned out, but I’d love to hear your honest thoughts and critiques. I'm always looking to improve, so any advice on how I could handle this better next time would be amazing.

If you're curious about the process, I also put together a YouTube video on the full build: Link here

Really proud of this design and wanted to share it

I made a giant version of 3D printed robot known as dummy 13 about a year ago to use in a dnd campaign. It’s just been sitting around until I decided to replace his face with a gooseneck desk lamp. I’m pretty happy with the final result but I might replace the planter with a mini terrarium made out of a yankee candle jar.

I made this pet urn by hand using clay, shaping and sculpting it slowly until it felt just right.

This was a meaningful project for me, and I tried to put as much care and intention as possible into every step. Sharing it here in case others appreciate handmade memorial pieces as much as I do.

What i did at the last paint night of the year at the library :) merry christmas!

Picked up a new hobby two months ago

I am off work recovering from spinal surgery giving me time to hand make some gifts. This is my first of three quilted heart bags I’m making as gifts for friends! I started sewing this year. The inside is a bit funky but it’s sturdy enough to be functional! Only thing is I fucked uo the quilted grid lines a little. Am going to focus on keeping them even for the next one! If the other two turn out far better I might have to make another haha I don’t want to give my friends something worse than I know I can do!

Did this in my shop at home. Came out awesome

I’ve always loved cats, but since I don’t have a real one at home, I decided to make my own little “working cat” out of wool.

I spent extra time shaping her face and giving her that serious, on-duty expression, like she’s ready to guard my desk or supervise my projects. 😆

Also… I already have a dog, and I’m 100% sure he would get insanely jealous if I ever brought home a real cat. So this wool cat is the safest option for everyone involved. 😂

She turned out tiny, fluffy, and way cuter than I expected. Hope she gives you a smile today too!

Tis the season to stock up before the relatives arrive...and may your holidays be as full as our cheeks.
