Renderings...

While at RISD I took a rendering class which I loved.  I love to draw and it was actually relaxing for me to spend 6-12 hours on a jewelry rendering.  I also worked in the costume jewelry industry where most of my job consisted of creating renderings.  Hand rendering is a sort of lost art that has been taken over by computer programs.  To me, jewelry rendered by hand is so much more interesting.

Enamel Tree Pendants...

I have been working on a series of enameled tree pendants for almost 2 years now (I don't enamel very often when it is hot outside).  Here are some of the pendants.  I hope to get some more enameling time in the studio once the weather cools off in the fall.  I also plan to teach an enameling class at my studio this winter.  What do you think of them?
