I just can’t pick a favorite. I love what we can do with our rose engine!!!

Nice fat stack of some of the rings we made and shipped last week. I love mokume. It’s hard to do but the results speak for themselves.

It’s been a real fun past few weeks. We’ve been realizing dreams and creating new ones. Probably the best (even better than the rose engine bracelets) has been the new etched steel we’ve been working with. I didn’t want anyone to think we wouldn’t have anything new @meleetheshow....see you next weekend!!

Little bit of open work on this one...

Probably my favorite pattern lately. This is barleycorn. Made with a v shaped fly cutter, offset each pass.

This one also. Cut on the rose engine and then turned into a cuff. I love these textures. You?

It’s been a bit of time in development, but I’m really proud to show one of our first rose engine, ornamental lathe turned bangles. Several more will be posted over the next few days. These are new and the first public appearance will be @meleetheshow next weekend!!

It will always be one of my favorites. First one made in 2003 because I was told I couldn’t. Thankfully, I’m stubborn. Meteorite and 18k gold mokume gane.

🎶Baby, it’s cold outside...🎶...BUT it’s hot AF inside! Heat treatment.
