Healing Thru Hammering
The hammer and anvil have been my outlet. With every hammer fall I am constructively working through my feelings and thoughts. Venting and letting go of all the things I can not change. Things I have no control over. Refocusing and in the process creating something beautiful out of it all.
Copper Rose for Momma
Custom made this rose for my momma for Mother's Day.
A pendant like this can be made for your mom any time of year. With custom stamping on the back if you desire. Feel free to message me to create a custom piece with you!
Carving and Casting Axe Pendants
Sharing a behind the scenes on how I made these Axe Pendants. From carving the wax to casting and clean up.
Hope you enjoy.

Cutting Corners In Hand Piercing Metal Jewelry
Cutting corners is one of the hardest things I learned when doing any kind of piercing in metal. I have my own way of doing it. I hope this explanation helps someone else. I love sharing knowledge and will gladly help if I can. Feel free to ask any questions you might have!
