Hello all,

I figured I would share my work with you after all.

These are some of my invert pieces:









and more recently:





Though I've also made some reptile pieces.

Hope you enjoyed it.

 
My favorite is the domino roach! What species is the tarantula based on and what is the ring in the second picture? Very nice work!

Are they mostly charms/medallions for necklaces?

 
That last one looks like a P. Regalis! very impressive, are you using lost wax casting for those or some over method?

Hello,

Peter, the domino roach was so fun to make, and regarding the tarantula, yes, it is a P. regalis.

I have done pendants, rings, bracelets, charms, cuffs, brooches, pins, tie clips, and cufflinks, but can do pretty much anything in the realm of jewelry. I tend to work in silver due to the cost of the metal, but have done pieces in gold (custom work).

WorldParadox, I try to incorporate different methods, though something like the P. regalis has to be carved out of wax first and then casted (at least the body itself), the legs I did just by working with the metal.

Thank you as well Phil.

Here are some more for those of you that asked about it ;-)

Invert





I also love working on Amber with inclusions



 
All the photos make me smile like when I used to watch my dad play the piano. It's really fun to see people expressing their individual creativity, especially when it relates to bugs!

 
Hello Sara, the bulk of my work are commissions for hobbyists in the reptile and invert hobby. I have been getting involved in some reef tank forums lately and doing some work for some people as well (mostly cephalopods).
