I have never not created jewelry without creating from waste. It is how it started and it will be how it ends. The first eight years was with practically any material you can think of. Some I miss working with and some I would never touch again.
Here is a small collection that attempts to cover more of the materials used over the years. Some missing from the archive that were from the early years of my creating (2014-2016) will be added as I find them.
I think someday I will go back to creating as I once did, but for now, the (semi) consistency and the in-depth research and knowledge I am gaining around aluminum and metals in general is something I am so very proud of. If you’ve made it this far through my past, thank you, and I look forward to showing you the knowledge I have gained through each and every one of these materials you have seen to create as sustainable and ethical a practice as I can.
