New Work from the Studio.

Over the summer I've been experimenting with fold forming copper to serve as a base shape for pendants and also free form bead work. This direction in my work is inspired by several classes I took earlier this summer. The copper has been through some trial and errors and I have quite a few more pages (and pages!!!) of sketches to work through as I move in this new style.
