For my first post I thought I would add some pictures of my favorite pieces that I have made through my few years in the metals and jewelry program. As a graduating senior, I think it is important to reflect back on pieces that I have made and see how my aesthetic has evolved.

This was my first pierced and bent form, a copper candle holder. (I still really love it)

This was my container piece for Jewelry 3. It was inspired by antique birdcages and my grandmother.

The piece had a working hinge.

Based off of the piece above, this was 3D modeled in Rhino and printed through Shapeways.

These tiles used different metalsmithing techniques to achieve different surface textures.

This narrative piece, also with a working hinge, was inspired by a trip to Mexico.

This neckpiece used electroforming to create a cluster of hydrangeas. The flowers were then enameled to add color.
