It's cold where I live. Too cold to solder in the garage, and life has been occupying every second with other things demanding attention. My 15 in-progress pieces are waiting and I can't wait to get to them in a few more weeks. Until then...

Not the most complex or "showy" pieces I make, but I just love them. They can be worn by anyone, with anything. My "take the backroads" cuffs. I texture each one with my favorite hammer, shape it to size with a nylon mallet, stamp lettering inside and oxidize to accentuate details. Link in bio.

I posted earlier that my February 8th in-person sale is my first sale of 2024. Gah! Of course I meant 2025! Thanks for alerting me to that. I really did proofread that before posting…apparently not enough! Guess I’m wishing to go back to 2024.

I will be selling at this sale - my first in-person sale of 2024- with a great group of artists. Break out of the Midwest winter monotony - shop for some meaningful Valentine’s Day gifts for someone special AND for yourself because YOU deserve it! See you there!

I'm so thankful for going over 200 followers here. Thank you! There has been a stretch of cold weather lately. Below zero. Soldering in an unheated garage is out, but it's supposed to be in the 40's this weekend! Up next? A limited collection of Royston turquoise pendants. (Very early stages here.)

It’s 2025! A year to make your mark! I’ll start by marking all of my one-of-a-kind jewelry with my own distinctive hallmark stamp. I’ll post more often with in-progress photos and video (I can get better at video, right?). Website link in bio - scroll to “follow along” & share your email for updates

Even though the art advent calendar ended yesterday, here’s one more. A road cuff with the dotted line passing lane, a NM Zia sun, 4-directions terminals, and Royston turquoise stone. Love Royston turquoise - it looks like a river from the air. Happy Holidays! 25 December 2024 #artadventcalendar

Didn’t get it done “in time” for the holidays? I’d argue it’s BETTER to receive a surprise gift out of the blue when it’s not a holiday. My website is open with U.S. Priority (or Ground Advantage with tracking for ear pins) included in the price. Be unique. www.redemberforge.com
