New Metal - Spring 2013

New BRONZE and COPPER components I have been working on lately. Some familiar styles, some new. I'm having a lot of fun dabbling in metal clay. I find that my work in metal is influencing my ceramic style, and vice versa - lots of cross-pollination which I am really digging.

These are a few examples of items you will see in my shop over the next few weeks. More in the works!

  1. Incredibly beautiful details Miss Karen. Makes me wish that I had the set up to do this sort of thing! I took several PMC silver classes a few years ago and never really mastered it but it looks like such fun! I am smitten with the one on the bottom right and the ones in the middle...beads? Love them all. Enjoy the day. Erin

  5. I think the really nice thing about the metal clay is that your lines are really crisp and allow for more detail. Is it possible to inlay regular ceramic pieces with metallic embellishments? Larger decorative pieces - plates, bowls, plaques and the like - would be awesome! :-)
