This is Dexter on the hunt for his favorite prey, the wild and wily honey bee. He stands as still as can be, letting them get closer and closer until, BAM! he pounces. With a few quick bites he eats his enemy even as it tries to stings his mouth, nose, and throat he evades it’s every movement. No matter how many times we try to dissuade him from his quest, he never stops from his endless bee eating tasks.

Take an afternoon break in a beautiful tropical location. This walled topiary garden is a cool quite retreat in the busy formal gardens at the Vizcaya Mansion, where all day long you can see people taking pictures for their weddings, engagements, and Quinceaneras.
I’ve been working hard this past week on some new pieces, both custom and for my ready to wear line. I’ll have some pictures of the custom piece for you next week, it’s coming along great, and it’ll really show you more about the process of how I make silver leaves. But this week I’ve been working on finishing up my new style of Apple Tree rings. They’re cast in fine silver, and come in both a high polish silver and in a black oxidized finish. I love the way these bands came out, there really comfy, and on the thinner side of the twig rings that I cast, only 3-5 mm wide. The textures are really well defined in the apple bark, much more so then the maple tree rings.
The other piece that I finished this week is a luxurious Art Deco style leaf pendant, that’s set with a 5mm faceted White Topaz. The pendant’s hanging from a really incredible matching Art Deco style chain. Like my other leaves, I cast this Sage leaf after growing it in the garden. I hand carved the setting for the stone and set in the hand-made bail. This is a really special looking piece, the veining of the sage leaf sparkles and so does the stone, the entire piece is just so amazingly reflective.
