Some of My Older Jewelry Pieces

Here is some of my sterling silver and fine silver cast jewelry. Most of these pieces were designed using Adobe Illustrator, and the vectors were translated in a 3D editing program (ArtCam) and sent to a CNC milling machine. The wax models were then cleaned up by hand, and then they were cast using the lost wax method. A couple of the above designs were made by hand, using sculpture wax.

Sterling Silver and Titanium Cameo Choker-Style Necklace

I've been working on this piece for the last couple of weeks, in between working on other projects. I hand made each of the tiny silver rings. I have quite a bit left to finish on this neck piece, but I figured some in-progress photos would be nice. So far, materials include; sterling silver and fine silver wire, sterling silver cameo and findings, thin titanium wire, mother of pearl beads, hematite beads, and glass beads. I'm considering fabricating some tiny sterling gears to accent this piece.

DIY Lip-Service Shirt

I had this white pinstripe shirt from Lip-Service, but after I lost weight, it sorta bulged in the center where my waist is, making it look a little funny. Plus, I've never been that fond of white clothing, so I dyed it black, which really brought out the stripes in the fabric, since they were made of more synthetic fibers and didn't absorb the dye as well. The main fabric and the trim absorbed differently too, leaving the shirt a deep purple/black with darker black trim. I added rivet trim to the back of the shirt as an easy sizing fix.

The shirt before.

When tied extra tight, the shirt makes a cute open-style over-shirt for tank tops.
