Barnacle ring

I’ve been continuing to enjoy the theme of natural growth, but the instances where it is slightly disturbing or gone wrong (parasitic, tumor-like, messed-up along the way).  This is the first casting for a group of jewelry I’m working on:

I like the idea of the barnacles taking over the body, and being beautiful, but also slightly uncomfortable. The plan is to also develop neck pieces and earring crawling up the ears too.

Necklaces

A few pieces I’ve been making for fun.  Gold plated cast macaroni, and gold plated cast vertabrae.  Still working on how to put the vertabrae together.  Thinking of making a slightly morbid charm bracelet.
