Inspired by Iceland Collaboration

Artist Tina Walker created a Facebook group of artist to challenge ourselves to be inspired by the magic of Iceland and its magnificent Northern Lights!
I jumped in because it's in my bucket list to see them!
I took a metalsmith class last semester and day one I drew what I wanted for my final project. Little did I knew the way the class would take me. But I achieved the focal piece just like I envisioned! This was challenging and fun!

Focal piece was created after sawing the brass and filled with Ice Resin and Ice Resin tints to represent the Aurora Borealis

I hammered the stars around my sky

And here's my initial sketch

Christmas Night

Visit the Relics and Artifacts  Muse to read about some of our Christmas traditions in Puerto Rico. I'm sharing a wood piece that offers quite a lot of sculpted work from my hands. See you there!

Santa Claus ornament!

Here's a sweet ornament that embodies the festive spirit of Christmas! I've used Dina Wakley scribbly Vintage Holidays set, insert LOVE here!!!

Here's a behind the scenes look at how to create those tiny glasses!

Use a wooden skewer for the perfect diameter, scale is important!!!

See what I mean,  They fit!

Make a second set of wraps, remember the bridge for the nose!

Pierce some holes in your ornament to fit the glasses in

Use glossy accents to make sure they stay in place. Aren't they cute!!!

Fit them over and voila Santa is ready to read your list! Bring on those wishes!!!
