New Laser Engraved Ebony Jewelry

Here are some images of laser engraved ebony jewelry I made this semester. Check out the video above to see the laser in action!

These have lots and lots and lots of teeeeny tiny itty bitty solder joints. I hope I'm not blind by the time I'm 40.

Another Platter Finished

Shadows Series 2, found object, embroidery, 13"x7"x2"

I finished another platter in my Shadows series today. It looks much like the other one I made, except the silhouette is different. This silhouette comes from a photo taken in 1958 of my grandmother with my dad and uncle. I wish I had a better detail of the embroidery, but I don't. The border closest to the silhouettes is a chain stitch with french knots. I like how it turned out. I think I will do one more of these for now, and then move on to something a little different. I may come back to them...not sure.

This is the first platter in the series (below). I already posted photos a few weeks back, but I thought I'd post it with the photograph that the silhouettes came from. It is my mom and her sister as children, probably somewhere around 1965.
