Took yesterday off and by “off” I mean I ran errands and cleaned/organized the studio a bit so I can see what I’m doing. Notice the bench isn’t clean because a clean jewelers bench is an unused bench! #studio #metalsmith #metalsmithstudio #metalsmithsofinstagram #watchmaker #akronartist #jewelersbench https://www.instagram.com/p/ChKOSS6gukg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A sweet cuff on its way south of me in Oregon! Thank you for supporting local artists! Find this and other joys at CoralMallowCreations on ETSY This Is My Nazi Punching Hand! The inherent Fortune and Glory of having one of these sweet cuffs! Take a stand and raise your hand! (Management not responsible for any incarcerations that follow for punching first, a sudden interest in archaeology, or an uncontrollable need to binge watch Harrison Ford flicks.) A copper cuff that is 1 inch by 6 inches. All of these items are hand made and hand finished. There are wonderful marks on the metal that help give the pendants their antiqued/ steampunk /cyberpunk look and feel. All pendants, cuffs, and earrings are wax sealed. #CoralMallowCreations #corallovesartsandcrafts #etsyjewelry #jewelersofinstagram #metalsmithsofinstagram #activism #punchnazis #indianajones #geekjewelry #nerdjewelry #hugenerd #actionmovies #80skid #fedorahat #etching #copperjewelry #pnwartist #beavertonoregon (at Beaverton, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqn2ytYhTTZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yte04unbyi20

Day 11 Creation It all begins with a sketch. When I am asked to make personal amulets or pieces I will sketch them put and figure out all the steps before I touch the metal. Measure twice cut once, but leave some room for the magic. #omgitsjulywitches , #metalsmithsofinstagram , #witchesofinstagram , #artistsoninstagram , #sketching , #customjewelry (at Beaverton, Oregon)

Day 10 Element Earth Pumice is an essential component in my jewelry work. It takes the heat without sapping it away from the metal I'm working on. It provides support. Basically pumice is the jewelry life coach. #omgitsjulywitches , #witchesofinstagram , #metalsmithsofinstagram , #artistsoninstagram (at Beaverton, Oregon)

The second one is Tool. I may have written a poem about my love of my flex shaft. It makes my life easier, smoother, more textured, and sometimes shiny! #omgitsjulywitches , #witchesofinstagram , #artistsoninstagram #foredomtools , @foredomelectric #metalsmithsofinstagram (at Beaverton, Oregon)
