Argentome

Happy anniversary to me!

These three pieces are something special. You see, over a dozen years ago, before I was a beastie maker I was making jewelry with PMC3, a fine silver metal clay. As the price of silver rose, I switched to bronze. Then a decade ago I made my first beastie.

That’s right, the beasties are now 10 years old! And to celebrate, I wanted to make one big beastie in .999 fine silver.

Since I am incapable of making just one piece, I also made two little book beasties.

This one is all eyes and feet. Don’t let their dopey smile fool you, I am sure they are just full of shiny secrets.

Small piece, only an inch wide. Standard playing card deck for reference
