Wood and silver... - mushycat.com - 1" buttons/badges/pins, stickers, sweatshop-free t-shirts and undies, postcards and other stuff too!

I've been spending a fair amount of time working on various jewelry designs and workflows (I do love my workflows) using wood and silver. Here's something I made not too long ago. It's walnut and maple sanded to 12000 grit (overkill maybe, but hey) with a 100% tung oil finish (about 10 applications) and argentium sterling silver. I fabricated the bail myself as well.

It's a 45 record adaptor, in case you didn't know. I like how it came out. There's something in me that wants to craft small, beautiful things, beyond the simplicity of the buttons. I often think of it as moving atoms around.
