Refined/rugged. Polished inside, smashed with an ancient hammer outside, then tumble polished. All hand forged from either recycled gold plated jewelry, fine silver scrap, and sterling silver scrap from my own studio.

Taxidermied cat feet, capped in bronze and silver like sacred rabbits’ feet! A dear friend let me make these end caps for her buddy Goose earlier this year! What an honor as always, to memorialize a loved one with metal. Customs open for memorial pieces, your imagination is the limit.

There’s a little girl named Helen who gave me this idea that has been in the back of my mind since thanksgiving… she and I were drawing and spelling words together and we came up with the phrase The I in the Hand… and today I found out I can still draw! I almost forgot about life drawing 😂

Making this piece lit me up in a deep way. It is done both in a style I have wanted to work in for a long time- chunky sculptural relief- but also, it exists entirely for ceremonial magic. It was commissioned as an offering, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to craft something made specifically for the sacred. Of course, ultimately, everything is for the sacred in the end because we cant keep any of it when we depart here. But yeah, thanks for the work, friend. Email me or dm me with your ideas for custom work. Lets have a free chat about it.

It is not easy to get a good picture of a nose ring with your front camera alone lol!! I spent way too long on this but I want you to know I make all kinds of stuff including septum rings! Custom is great, I’m open to your ideas, or you could order a textured, flat forged one like this. I made it from 14k yellow gold for myself because I decided I deserved a septum ring I never want to take off again, after all these years of settling for ones I dont love! My last one, which got pretty close to the style I wanted, kept pinching me and it was made from gold-filled wire, and I just wanted solid gold again. Feeling good goes a long way. Ok back to work now.
