When I collect Ocean plastics on beach cleans her in Cornwall sometimes the Ocean gifts me a beautiful stone to work with. Here is a Cornish Quartz & Cornish Bluestone mix that I use to texture some of my works.
A navigation piece. Perhaps a secret map to another solar system? Maybe a message is hidden in the colors of the gemstones, healing properties. Great care is taken with the back of many of my works. A secret side for the owner's eyes only.
Copper is cut by hand & by eye. Locally collected Cornish beach Quartz & Cornish bluestone is used to texture the metal. This & the heating process build up texture & patina. One of my Future Gemstones is set with Blue Goldstones to represent the night skies & traveling through deep space, Rose cut Labradorite & Pyrites represent the geodesic domes used for habitation on other celestial bodies & a Lolite gemstone the Viking compass stone for navigation.
