This silver pendant honors the spirit of the hump-backed flute player of the American southwest. A splash of 22 carat gold reminds us of the colors of the sky as Kokopelli sets out on his journey.https://swampapestudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/img_2285.jpgIMG_2285EYE OF THE FOREST. A citrine stone sits in the middle of this silver ring.

This hollow-form pendant bears a moon on its face and, inside, a lizard sits on a nest of cubic zirconia eggs. https://swampapestudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/img_0175.jpgIMG_0175QUESTIONS. This copper pendant features the face of the Roman goddess Diana. Three frogs stare inquisitively at her, while a vine wraps around the entire scene. What are the frogs asking? It is not to be revealed. https://swampapestudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/img_0459.jpgIMG_0459DUALITY. The ring, inspired by classical Greek art, features two carnelians. The silver band wraps around the finger three times before going off in opposite directions, where the stores are displayed.https://swampapestudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/img_0404-1.jpgIMG_0404 (1)BLUE NILE. This pendant is made of fine silver, with a 'Nile' of acrylic, containing chips of paua shell, running through it. The heiroglyphics don't really say anything -- sorry. The coin is for scale.2015-11-20T21:31:31+00:00weekly0.6https://swampapestudios.com/2015/11/02/a-mixed-metal-pendant/https://swampapestudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/img_05051.jpgFinished pieceA snapped a goldstone cabachon into the bezel. I used two part epoxy to attach the bezel to the copper, and then the copper to the frame. Solder would not work, because one would lose the patina. Once two-part epoxy is thoroughly dry, it will stand up to normal wear. Attach a pinch bail. The piece is complete!https://swampapestudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/img_0503.jpgPatinaed coper for backing.I patinaed a piece of 24 gauge copper with used cat litter. Yes, it sounds gross, but, once it is done, you can wash it and there is no trace of smell and you get a nice color. I cut out the copper to match the back of the piece. It is important to saw the copper -- if shears are used, the patina will pell off. The corner is missing because of the shape of the copper sheet I had. Since it will be hidden, it does not matter.https://swampapestudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/img_0502.jpgBlend colors.To eliminate the harsh edges of the colored pencil, wad up a paper towel and rub the colors vigorously. They will blend and smooth nicely. After this is done, using an agate burnisher, burnish the parts that have not been colored (if any). Spray with the fixative that artists generally use on colored pencil. Be sure to hold your breath while spraying -- that stuff is vile!https://swampapestudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/img_0500.jpgMore color.I used several shades of green to go to the edge.https://swampapestudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/img_0497.jpgStart adding color.Using colored pencils on the unbrushed silver (caveat: once brushed, colored pencils will not take) make a blue mark in the center. I chose to only go three quarters of the way around. This was a choice. One could obviously go more or less.https://swampapestudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/img_0496.jpgBorder of pendantRoll the clay 0.75 mm thick. Cut out a window (I used a 'puffy square' template). Cut out the same shape on a larger scale. Fire, but do not brush or burnish.https://swampapestudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/img_0495.jpgBezelI used a bezel cup for the stone. Extrude a long 'rope' of metal clay, a little longer than twice the distance around the cup. Hold up by the middle. Twist the two ends around themselves to from a twisted pattern. Wrap the bezel in this. I added a bit of decorative syringe work.https://swampapestudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/img_0505.jpgFinished productThis mixed metal piece is made from silver, copper, and goldstone. The color is from an application of colored pencils to the unfurnished silver.2015-11-03T00:39:36+00:00monthlyhttps://swampapestudios.com/2015/10/18/making-a-pair-of-colored-metal-clay-earrings/https://swampapestudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/img_0492.jpgIMG_0492Step 6.

The legend is that an important post in the city's guard was to be filled by the winner of an archery competition. A commoner won. The city rulers didn't want to give him the post, but they made him a guard. He became a fixture of the city. After Thomas (the commoner) died, an image of him was put atop the town hall. It has been refurbished, and even replaced, many times since the Middle Ages, but an image of Old Thomas has perpetually guarded Tallinn. https://swampapestudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/fullsizerender.jpgFullSizeRenderOne of the guard towers of Tallinn. Like much of the ancient city, it is reputed to be haunted. No ghosts were present when I was there.

These fine silver and 22 carat gold earrings are just the thing for the discerning hairy hominid seeker. Do they represent sasquatch, the yeti, or even the swamp ape? That's for you to decide. ;-)https://swampapestudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/img_2283.jpgIMG_2283THUNDERER. This silver pendant might represent Thor's hammer. However, it might also represent the hammer of Uku, an Estonian god who carried a hammer. The pendant is based on imagery I saw on a trip to Estonia.https://swampapestudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/img_2276.jpgIMG_2276KALEVIPOEG.

No answers are provided in this fine silver pendant, just whimsical art.https://swampapestudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/img_04062.jpgIMG_0406RAN'S KINGDOM. Ran is an old Norse sea goddess.
