Hand-cast
Pewter Jewelry.
Most are available as lapel pins and keyrings too!
All
my jewelry and miniature sculptures are made from lead-free
pewter, sometimes called Britannia
Metal. It contains tin and copper, but no
lead. Britannia Metal is harder than pewter, and often used
for table ware.

Pewters
are my winter work, when I cannot carve stone in my outdoor
studio.
I make the originals in clay, fire them in my toaster oven,
then create a mold using two-part epoxy. Finally, I hand
cast each one in my kitchen using lead-free pewter.
Keyrings
are available as circlular or heart-shaped. Necklaces are
strung on thirty-four inches of black satin cord, 1 mm in
diameter.
