Orient Express




Orient Express frames my Oriental Coin pieces, and embellishes them with Vermielle, brass, and fresh water pearls. 24k Gold accentuates the pieces themselves, highlighting the texture. The pendant is 2 3/4"long x 1 3/4" wide, with the earrings being 2" long x 1 1/4" wide.

GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER!


Doug Foulkes never ceases to create beautiful images, that help me get into choice shows. He can be reached at 203-775-0496, http://www.douglasfoulke.com/. These are new images of "Spirit Boat", the pendant with the earrings. The mixed metals of NuGold Brass, Fine and Sterling Silver, create a warm framework for the amethyst and peridot stones.

NuGold With Sterling


NuGold is a brass alloy, also called Merlin's Gold, which contrasts nicely with sterling or fine silver. It solders like sterling, and has a warm glow.
Spirit Boat is a new piece, hot off the bench. Boats have always held a power of transition from this world to the Otherworld. Birds are the guardians, protectors. Something similar was created in Celtic art around 500BC. Another of my Winged Ones Series.
