Not impossible in fact, just two very different requests this month...
Firstly, a bracelet commissioned by Pete. He is a talented musician and beatboxer.
A super fan made him a bracelet made from laser cut wood and woven cord.
It features his logo, an impossible cube shape.
The request was simple; can you recreate this in silver?
To begin with, I had the outline engraved as a guide. I then hand cut the logo from sheet silver using a saw with a fine blade. Finally, I added the chain and clasps.
Here's how the whole process went:
I have to say this was a challenge, but fun to make.
Pete was very pleased with the results, as was I.
Secondly. I had a request from a friend of mine, Lours; cofounder of The WOM Collective.
She is a very skilled Artist. And Her request was straight forward.
'The pyramid ring? Can I get it with a spray cap instead of the eye?'.
Immediately this felt like a great idea. I calculated whether I can manipulate the wax into what she wanted and how I could do it. No problem, I can do that for you Lours!
The pink wax seen below was cast using the All Seeing eye mould. It is a soft wax and difficult to work with. It's important not to let the soldering iron get too hot. It was exciting to melt the eye into a flat surface. I was too busy holding my breath to film that part.
However here's everything else! Enjoy the making of video below:
Many thanks to both Pete and Lours for choosing me to make something special.
Every commission, order & conversation, keeps me fed, watered and happy.
