Original Element

Posted by Gela on 4/20/2006

My name is Angela Monaco This gallery is a selection of some pieces I am proud of. I currently am working a some metalworking projects. I also make custom stained glass, fused glass pendents, and 3-Dimentional glass art. The Elements of the Earth have always facinated me since I was little. I am so fortunate to have the creativity to create a portrayment of what stimulates me in life. I always been interested in art but not untill about two years ago did I feel like I found my nitch. I went to a technichal school to try something new. There I found metelworking, glass, and ceramics. I love all three but feel I should concentrate on metal right now. My love for gems and minerals inspired me to create lovely jewelry for all types of people. Thanks to a wonderful program in Ohio I recieved a small buisness grant to get my started in a studio. I have a decent size studio in my house that is growing as I work.
I tend to update myspace more often than this website. so if you h

Pendent for GRATEFULFEST

I am really proud of this one. Unfortunatly It is missing along with the rest of my case that I had at nelson ledges. I thought for sure it would turn up. If anyone sees this pendent in a case with a vegoose sticker on it along with a signed stash box pendent and about 1500 of other sick crystals and art work write back to me.

spaced

moldivite, zyncite, amber, aquamarine, hematite. I kinda got a little crazy with the combination of stones. Moldivite and zyncite go well together but im not sure about the aqua. I threw a piece of hematite in the middle to create a balance in the pendent

Cast Pendent

This was my first casting I did. I really enjoyed this process except for I need to order different parts for a foredom. I had trouble cleaning this pendent up but I am still pleased with it. This pendent is also floating out there hopefully in the hands of a good person

Moldivite Pendent

This is a huge piece of moldivite I wrapped for a friend. It's my first attempt at a symmetrical piece. I am happy with the way it turned out. I have yet to replicate it (funny how that works) I wore it to school one day to photograph it. I shouldn't wear moldivite when trying to accomplish anything.

stash box pendent

This pendent was done in my studio class. we had to make a reliquery which is a sacred box. i made mine into a pendent. trying to keep kids safe. citrine and green tourmmaline. From now on I'm trying to incorporate a stash box into every pendent. I think finally in this crazy world of wire wrappers I invented something new!
