Brenda's jewelry designs are a collision of materials: sterling and fine silver, copper, Lake Superior stones, torch-fired enamel and natural gemstones. The result is beautiful, natural, one of a kind jewelry.
She uses a variety of metalsmith tools to create each piece of jewelry; hammers, saws, torches, tumblers and more. Powdered glass becomes colorful, vibrant enamel, with a torch. The metals are cut with a jeweler's saw, fused or soldered, hammered and polished. Basalt stones are hand-picked from Lake Superior and then drilled and stacked zen-like, or hand set in sterling silver bezels. Dragonfly and Damsel creative jewelry designs are simple, modern, classy, original and fun. Oh! and affordable. |
It is quite often a happy accident when I am finished with a piece of jewelry. |
