echinacea emporium

fabricated, finished and photographed!

three new pieces added to my echinacea collection. this is part of my native species™ line, available through my herban elements™ shop. this line was developed via a request of the adkins arboretum on the eastern shore of maryland.

crape myrtle

crape myrtle is a beautiful plant, coming in many different forms and a wide range of colors. the seed pod used to fabricate this ring was developed by the national arboretum here in washington, dc. i just added four new crape myrtle pieces into my etsy shop.

i love crape myrtles!

i photograped this necklace for my herban elements etsy shop over the weekend.

twelve hours of light

hello vernal equinox! welcome spring!

don't try this at home!

i just listed this pendant in my etsy shop. the flower shape is a re-occurring theme in my work: i use it as a pendant in this case. i wanted to experiment with some acid etching (see the engraved ditsy flower pattern?), but i didn't realize getting nitric acid would be so difficult. i called a few local suppliers, who asked me multiple questions about my intended use of the corrosive chemical. they seemed skeptical of my explanation, and insisted on passing on my vitals to the authorities. oh, 9/11: i almost forgot! eventually, a friend was able to obtain some from a local university professor. whew! anyway, the results are fantastic despite the fact that the stuff is super dangerous!

my copper electroforming set up has been idle for sometime now. today is the day to resurrect it! the pendant above is a crape myrtle seed pod i electroformed in copper and then worked it with fine and sterling silver.
