Currently working on a new series of laser engraved ebony pieces for jewelry. These are the first completed pieces in the new series. I took some pictures as I made them so you can see the process. I forgot to take pictures of the actual laser engraving so I will do that next time.

After I engrave the ebony I rolled some wire out flat to frame the piece with some scroll work.

Oh! I love this! The chain is beautiful too - I love the detail of the scrolls with the simplicity of the eye-design.
Beautiful piece! I always enjoy it when artists go through their process...it helps to gain an understanding, especially as a student myself.
Wow, beautiful chain and piece. can't wait to see more!
