Blue Sapphires - 14k

This is a simplistic and very old style of ring

Twin blue sapphires terminating a spiral of forged 14k gold

Scrap Gold

after a lot of melting, annealing and rolling....

The long piece in the center here will become the ring shank

Creating a cup shape to accept the bezel settings.  
The tape is to minimize scratches if (or when) I slip with the flex shaft.

I usually use the money to buy tools.....

I've won a couple of times before.....

I won three that year.  I felt sorta bad, for those who didn't win.  It wore off pretty quick.

Wood Gavels

I was supposed to be making 'wood worker's mallets'.  Mine turned out a lot more like gavels.

 

I had a couple of them laser engraved, as gifts for my lodge brothers.

New Studio

I have my own new studio!  Upstairs in the Gallery One in downtown Ellensburg.  

I am a resident artist, but I don't actually live there. 

Its a pretty big space, but I have a lot of stuff.....

Hammer Time!

So the studios all have these windows from way back in the day when there were a lot of professional offices in the building  They gave me the one that says I'll do your taxes.  I won't.

I am a CPA though....  I think it was a sort of joke.  Or maybe just the studio that came up.  But I'm also the treasurer for the gallery.

In this building - Gallery One!

This is what the inside of the Gallery looks like during an exhibit.

 

There's a bunch of stuff going on in here.  You can take classes and stuff.

Upstairs - that's my little room across the way.

Wait until you see what this becomes!
