Snowflake obsidian, .3 carat citrine facet in the curly-q on the bottom. Sterling wire.
This is a custom for this guy named Austin who is an amazing visionary artist, and is somehow connected with Alex Grey and CoSM (the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, Alex Grey's gallery for those that don't know cosm.org and alexgrey.com)and has had his stuff featured in exhibits at CoSM before. Anyway, I'm flattered that someone with this kid's vision and understanding of huge metaphysical and spiritual concepts appreciates my work enough to give me money to make him shiny things. His work is impressive and fun to look at, check it out: http://www.myspace.com/aust... . Thanks, Austin. Hope this piece helps you to continue your spiritual, mental, and psychic development like I know you're trying to do...
Not for sale, but thanks for looking, y'all...

Had a lot of fun with this one... this kid gave me total creative license with this, and a price range with a $150 buffer zone between the low end and the high end so I could really just let the piece create itself, independent of any significant guidelines.
Side one: turquoise nugget, azurite and malachite chunk, fire opal, turquoise chip beads
Side two: Swiss blue topaz (6 carats), same nugget of turquoise, moonstone, quartz point
Also took this one into the shop and polished the hell out of the low dome, looks like liquid metal now.
Sorry if the pics are a little shwaggy, I haven't had access to my regular camera lately.
Thanks to Brett for letting me have fun with this one, and thanks to all y'all for lookin...

Kyanite, Tibetan quartz (on the bottom), smoky quartz, double-terminated quartz pencil (Madagascar).
Sold.
Thanks for looking...

Side one: fire agate cabochon, raw Ethiopian opal.
Side two: tumbled nugget of natrual, unprocessed, unstabilized, untreated Arizona turquoise.
Visible from both sides: terminated selenite crystal which was originally twinned but split in two so now each half is on each side of the pendant, terminated Afghani tourmaline--pink w/faint band of green
My first intentionally double-sided pendant. I was thinking of what to call it while listening to a mix by this dubstep dj (Selector Moldy(.com)-- check him out if you like HEAVY pressure) and the name came to me right then.
Thanks for looking.

8x10mm garnet cabochons, first time trying some earrings. I waited too long to order more wire and was going nuts wanting to make stuff but didn't have any wire, so I used some scraps I had and my last 8 inches of 26ga. and this is what happened.
Sold.
Thanx for looking...

I kind of wanted to keep adding coils to this, but I realized that there was a nice flow with just enough wire to make everything work, and I'm trying to make some pieces that are more accessable but still nice. Plus I think it's sexy.
Also having a lot of fun making pieces that can hang either way. Bottom's up!
Small garnet cabochon, fire opal, 9 carat faceted garnet, solid Australian opal.
SOLD
thanx for lookin...

Apopholite (Southbury, CT), Selenite, Moldavite, Chrome Tourmaline (Brazil).
Sold.
Thanks for looking.

So, here's how the hyperspace interface works:
The swoop on the front side sucks up all of the energy of the iolite, citrine, tanzanite, amethyst, and moldavite, and it gets directed into the back end of the monster aqua aura crystal, using the Fibonacci algorithm to ensure everything gets processed according to the proper fractal frequency. Everything is then squirted out the point of the aqua aura crystal, and into the ass-end of the little microprocessor aqua aura crystal on the backside, after having any negative energy inverted by the smoky quartz subprocessor. The output is then directed into the full-spectrum transmogrifier, which swirls averything around at a bajillion miles a nanosecond and beams the final output out through the Vera Cruz amethyst, the aqua crystal, and up into your domepiece with the full spectrum clear white light of realization that the clear quartz squirts out. Heady. Hope this piece helps him to pull some heady noise out of the ether and into his mixer

My mom gave me some gemmies she had and asked me to wrap them for her birthday. Too bad her birthday didn't fall a month or so later so I could have had a little more practice, these would have come out SO much better... Christmas should be good for her, though... thanks for looking!

Beautiful intensely blue lapis lazuli cabochon (got more for sale, hit me up), Swiss blue topaz (6 carat) facet x2. Sterling and gold-filled wire.
Thanks for looking! Be well...

Neon blue apatite, tiny piece of turquoise, moonstone cab. Size 9 or so, but the funky angle of it nicely fills the skinny section behind my big fat knuckle. Could easily be stretched up at least a full size.
Maybe for sale, but it's mine for now...
Thanks for lookin

Can't say who this is for, but it's a 6-carat Swiss Blue Topaz that was commissioned as a Christmas present for someone I know. If I told you any more than that, I'd have to kill you.
So... if I know you, this could be your Christmas present. Or not. Thanks for looking...
Update: Yes folks, you guessed it, this was for my aunt Debbie.

Lapis lazuli, green calcite, rainbow moonstone, emerald, golden apatite (Durango, Mexico), amethyst. Sterling & fine silver. The stuff you see sticking out on the sides is a seashell I used to prop the pendant up for the pic, it's not part of the piece.
Started making this for my girlfriend's good friend in Switzerland, who I've never met, then we broke up and I almost kept this for myself until I noticed that the nasty breakup energy it had soaked up was kicking my ASS. So, it went to ol' PB (the person who said to me "nothing quite ruins the taste of peanut butter like unrequited love") for her birthday yesterday as a goodwill gesture to try and clear the air and to try to do my part to make sure there's no bad blood--it's just too small of a world.
So, it's not for sale, but thanks for checkin it out...

My first & only pin so far... I was going to add more wire to it, but I realized how cheap the actual pin base was and now I don't want to put any more work into a junky pin. Anyone know where to get decent quality bar pins?

Herkimer mined by my grandmother back in the day,turquoise nugget, and I replaced the low-grade tourmaline nugget that was in the top with a trillion-cut citrine quartz. My first head piece, upgraded now that I have some better stones. It is not for sale right now (wearing it feels too good), but it will be someday. Thanx for looking...

Lousy photo, I know. Having trouble reaching an understanding with this digital camera-- it thinks it knows everything.
My first piece where I started to spread my wings a bit, after about three or four months of simpler production pieces.
Sterling Silver, Ocean Jasper, Quartz points, Jade, and maybe some kind of Agate?
Sold, but thanks for looking

Huge Rhodochrosite cabochon (like 17 grams, don't have a scale handy right now- it maxes out my gem scale- but that's my guesstimate), sterling wire. Another installment in my series of pieces that are accessible to people other than drug dealers and trust fund kids. Broke mo'nockas deserve shiny rocks too.
Sold. Thanks for looking, be good...

I've been cranking these out for sale to the relatively "normal" people in my area. I actually like the sleek, simple style that features the stone more so than the wire work. Thanks for looking...

Neon blue apatite, golden apatite (Mexico), unheated sapphire (Umba Valley), moldavite, sterling & fine silver. For an old friend. Size 6 3/4, so it just fits on my pinky in these pics...
Kinda looks like... some sort of bug, with its big apatite buttcheeks sticking up, or a skull with an apatite brain poking through...
Thanks for lookin

Something my mom requested. 15-carat 20x15mm rutilated quartz facet, 14k gold-filled wire.
The stone has a nice little rainbow down inside of it that winks at you when it wants to. I'll try to catch it in a pic on a day that's not so cloudy and when I'm not on my way out the door to go try and make things out of my melted silver scraps... yay, fun!

Amazing black boulder opal from Australia (SO many layers of fire...), spinel (1.48carats/pair), mini quartz point, splatter of melted titanium. Sterling & fine silver and gold-filled wire.
Tried out a new (to me) prong setting with the spinels on this one.
Had lots of fun letting the wire and the stones doing the talking on this one. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to do this piece, Sam...
Not for sale, but thanks for lookin...

Sterling wire, turquoise from China, Saphhire from I-don't-know-where. Possibly from the Umba valley, as that's where the other three saphhires that I have are from, and I got them from the same guy... There's some really cool inclusions in the sapphire, I love it.
Sold.
Thanks for lookin, stay up and be good...

My mom loaned me some money to buy some faceted gems from someone she knew, and said I could pay her back some of it by making her a really nice piece. This might be the nicest one I've done yet, I'm very happy with it: clean lines and good flow, no nicks in the wire, and the first one I've done that is clean enough on what was intended to be the back that it could actually be double-sided.
HUGE (14.4 grams)totally natural (not enhanced, stabilized, reconstituted, or anything like that), tumbled, flat nugget of Arizona Turquoise (looks like Kingman to me, but probably not. DEFINITELY Arizona somewhere though, my source just couldn't remember where), some other random turquoise nuggets, all sterling wire. NFS, but thanks for looking...

This one really has no intended top or bottom, I was really picturing it more circular than anything else.
Charoite cabochon (7.1g), Swiss blue topaz, pink topaz, sterling wire.
Had a LOT of fun with this one. Thanks for looking...
SOLD (traded, actually...)

...not me. First production piece where I soldered a bail on instead of deal with 6 or more wire ends. I think it looks much cleaner and more sleek, no?
For Sale- $40, negotiable (like everything), trades welcome.
Love y'all...

From bottom: amethyst, ametrine, citrine, ametrine.
For a family friend, not for sale. Thanks for looking at it, though...

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know. So... if I keep learning, eventually I'll realize that I know nothing.
More images added regularly... thanks for looking! Big up to metalworkers for giving us this community resource...

Thank you
Hi Johnathan,
I just wanted to pop over and thank you for the comment and the kind encouragement. I know that most of my work doesn't seem to be the rainbow genre, and I am glad to know that it's welcomed here despite that fact. The rainbow wrap is a new style for me and I'm working to decode the mystery that it is, so to speak. I hope that as my skills develop in this department that I am able to integrate some of the techniques I already use so that I can put my own unique spin on it. Time will tell. Thanks again for the kind words. I consider a compliment from you an honor. :)
