Viking pendant cast in silver

Viking pendant, cast silver, blackened

I have some interesting Viking motifs I am keen to cast.This is the first.

It has a 3 cm diameter and is 2- 3 mm thick.

I sand-casted it, then blackened it with chemicals and lightly brushed the outside with a steel brush to give it that marvellous antique shine.

Cleaning fish

Silver nail cleaner, inspired by the Romans

This is  a nail cleaner, just like the ones the Romans used, centuries ago.

You can always tell whether Romans, and more specific Roman women, have lived somewhere. If so, artefacts like these will be found all over the place.

For this piece I used a left-over scrap of silver, already looking a bit fishy - it was more or less fish-shaped.

I hammered it a bit to "blow" it up - give it some volume and used several chisels to add detail.

I'll probably add a little hole in the top of the shell to make it a pendant.
 

3D sugar beet

3D Biet in Kleur from terra-arte on Sketchfab.

Yep, this is a sugar beet, captured with 123D Catch en a Canon Powershot S3 camera.

The newspaper provides the engine of the Autodesk servers with reference points.

I made this scan for a FabLab client, who needed a 3D print of a sugar beet for an art project in the Kunsthal, Rotterdam.

Warp Nexus necklace

Warp Nexus I

Yes! A new line of fine arts jewelry is coming to you.

Using an ancient technique that dates back to the Egyptians and the Celts I formed copper and brass shells, in lovely organic shapes.

Combined with gorgeous howlite turquoise stones this necklace is truly one-of-a-kind...

I have many ideas for a whole series of "Warp Nexus" jewelry, rings, bracelets, etcetera.
