Made these for a coworker who loves the B’s. Oxidized copper over brass, silver chain and ear wires. Took FOREVER to polish all those little nooks and crannies, I think I am getting a tumbler. I really like the way they came out.

Flying Pig Chain Guard Badge
This badge is going to go on a custom chain guard, as such it needed to be nice and tough to survive any kicking, dings, or other rough and tough. 14 gauge copper, with 16 gauge brass wings, all sealed up to preserve the “pink” of the pig. I think it came out rather nice, and it has a great heft in the hand when you hold it.
Bike Cog Heart Earings
Like the bike cog earrings, but with a little heart! Show your love for cycling (or brass gears) with these guys. Silver studs, brass hand cut cogs, brass part is treated so that it will retain its shine.
Right Whale Earrings
Highly endangered, and highly awesome. Right whales are so named because they used to be the “right” whale for getting oil for lamps. Lucky for us they are now protected and are struggling back from the brink of extinction.
Having these little guys swimming along next to you all day is sure to make you happy.
Copper whales, with a gorgeous speckled patina. Silver chain, and jump rings, and stainless surgical steel ear wires.
Bike Heart
Made another bike hear for a customer, this one came out really nice and a dark black that really shines. That’s the thing about using patinas they don’t always come out the way you want, but sometimes they come out much nicer than you hoped. Copper with patina, silver jump ring, hand cut.
Runner Head Badge
Made this for a customer, nickel background with copper top layer. I am still getting the hang of nickel, it expands and contracts greatly when you torch it… tricky would be the word I would use. But I think it came out well, and I am really liking how the patina is unique and different every time you apply it to the copper, you never know what you are going to get.
Bike Heart Pendant
Made this for a customer, I really liked the way it came out. Copper, and silver.
Starry Night Brass Earrings
Gave these to a friend for the holidays. Brass, and silver.
Custom Sheriffs Star
Made this for a person I work with, its a long story, but I think it ended up very nice. Copper, brass, and silver. This is the first time I made straight pin backs, and was happy to find out they are tricky but do-able.
Wonder Woman Necklace
Made this for a friend, she was nice enough to pose with it on for me to take some pictures. Copper, brass, silver, and steel (the chain).
