Been getting a lot of questions about the tin...so here is the story behind my 4 A Month pieces this month.
The titanium on the first piece, "Holly's Necklace", came from Holly Gage. She shipped it to me nestled in this tin. So thank you, Holly, for providing the source of inspiration for all of these pieces! (P.S., I had already cut out the first piece before I thought to take this photo!)
Assemblage, barn wood frame, drift wood, found object, foil, beads, copper wire, pine cone seeds, acrylic paint..... SOLD
This series of resin pendants were inspired by a sheet of reproductions of vintage matchbook cover art. I thought it would be really cute to pair the matchbooks with actual matches and embed them into resin
They are made from brass with Ice Resin and various found objects, brass components, bits of paper, match sticks, and glass beads. The resin is crystal clear, and very reflective, and amplifies the collage inside the brass pendant with amazing detail. Unfortunately, they are so reflective, they are a bit hard for me to photograph, but I love each one dearly!
This pendant was made from a raw brass frame pendant, which was heated with flame to give it interesting coloration. Some of the pendants in this series were also hand domed with a hammer and dapping block. The pendant was then carefully filled with the paper and found object bits and covered with a water-like layer of crystal clear resin.

The Zalcronator Ray Gun was inspired by classic sci-fi movie ray guns. It visually suggests the possibility of power being generated in the bulbous main section and being compressed and increasing power as it feeds down the reduces to explode with ridiculous force out the end.
