I dunno, I just started making this crazy thing....I was aiming for dragon egg, I guess dragon eggs could look like an artichoke 🤷🏻‍♀️ . . . . #dragonegg #artichoke #uniquejewelry #oneofakindjewelry #handmadejewelry #makingthethings #atmybench #onmybench #thatwasfun

So, remember that cardboard I posted a few posts ago? The one that had “a few” projects on it? Well, that’s not the only one I have lying around. 😜 . . . . #proxjewelry #proxartist #artprocess #makingart #makingthethings #wip #workinprogress #onmybench #riojeweler #proxjewelry #kindacrazy #allthethings

I spent all night working on these little connector guys. What will they be 🤔 . . . . . #workinglate #makingthethings #riojeweler #art #artjewelry #silversmith #metalsmith #maker #proxartist

Soldering 11 doo dads, and a bezel all at once with two butane torches. I don’t normally solder on such a giant backplate, but I had it sitting around and needed to use it. I also had to cut the process in half due to time constraints here. There’s about a minute missing with me spraying a barrier flux and poking at the naughty doo dads. I also overheated this a bit. Soldering while video-ing is distracting. I can clean it up with 3m bristle thingies 🙄. So no biggy. . . . . #theprocess #makingthethings #makingjewelry #soldering #thedirtywork #creating #makingart #proxartist #proxjewelry

Intense concentration....also, my hands hurt. .#metalsmith #maker #makingthethings #makingart #art #artjewelry #mandala #amulet #talisman
