frame bracelet with garnets and smoky quartz

here is further attempt to bring the loose, unconcerned and imprecise quality of my line drawings into my metalwork. i also experimented with mixing the stones and a dark patina. a few more lessons learned, and overall i am very happy with the sense of confidence that working "off the cuff" is bringing to my work. the last piece was very carefully measured and planned, but this one was created in a very spontaneous way. i am learning to skip the drawings and sketch directly into the metal.
