The classic pot-belly shape of the Adirondack pack is recreated in sterling and fine silver. I have woven this basket in the same manner that a natural fiber pack basket would be woven. There are only a few exceptions, one being the handle which I solder to the rim instead of inserting it down into several rows of weaving and the stakes are not bent over the rim row and tucked into the weaving, they are soldered to the rim row. Measures about 7/8" X 3/4" X 1-1/8" high. I even make the leather strap and silver buckle at the rim.

The crazy S hook was created when I mistakenly cut several pieces of sterling wire too long for a regular S hook. I couldn't just scrap them all so I made the S hook and crossed the long ends over the middle and came up with this wonderful design. It has become one of my best selling designs and here it is made from heavy gauge wire and measures about 2" long and has a jumpring at the top for a chain to slide through.

I've surrounded this fiery labradorite cabochon with lots of swirls, it's a stunning one of a kind piece. As the wearer moves the fire in the stone changes displaying colors from deep greens to brilliant blues. Measures almost 3" from top to bottom and 2" from side to side and has a large loop soldered behind the top swirl to accommodate almost size chain.

This pendant is from my 'organic' line of jewelry, I always melt down scrap silver and reuse some of it but this year I've done that more often and used the resulting discs for many designs. In this case I've melted silver into a ball and flattened and rolled it to a usable thickness, I love the freeform shape. The turquoise cabochon is then bezel set and I've added some balls of melted scrap to the design. The melted ball theme carries over into the bail at the top too. Measures about 1-1/2" wide by 1-3/4" high.
