#benchportrait

My friend @chromarocksjewelry tagged me in the #benchportrait project started by @turasugden. It's such a cool idea to show jewelers unedited benches and how they change from day to day. I'm working on some steel pieces today for a wholesale order so I've got my beat up tools out. I mark all these with red tape so I don't accidentally use and damage my good ones. Additionally you can see lots of stone setting goodies in the background and right side and the ever present pile of experiments, incomplete projects and "I don't know what to do with this" off to the left side. If I tagged you in the post share your bench and tag your other jewelry making friends. #jewelersbench #behindthescenes #workinprogess #messybench #metalsmith #metamorphosismetals #studios (at metamorphosis metals) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoMvMNzHplA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cihk86k4bp1t

Aaand... #benchportrait number two. This is where I drill stones and assemble most of the finished pieces. I keep lots of gems close by so I can stare at them to get inspired or feel guilty because I bought too many.. * * * * * * * * * #losangeles #silverlake #atwatervillage #jewelrystudio #serenakojimotostudio #workshopsk #happyplace #homeawayfromhome (at Workshop sk) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn__nQVAYzD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=h7z8tx36nuj5

#benchportrait number one. I’m going to post two since I work on both. This one is a helluva lot neater than the one to follow... * * * * * * #serenakojimotostudio #workshopsk #losangeles #atwatervillage #silverlake #dtla #jewelrystudio #happyplace #workspace #localartist (at Workshop sk) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn_9_mSgn25/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=eztol5vw8roe
