Metamorphosis Metals- Creative Jewelry Design by Sonya Coulson Rook
................................................................................
In my work, I seek to combine traditional metalsmithing techniques with non-traditional materials to create jewelry designs that are both unique and wearable. I’m inspired by all things rusty, old and natural, and I constantly find myself picking up interesting bits and pieces off the ground and capturing textures, colors and patterns in photographs for later use. I don’t want my pieces to be too clean or fussy, I try to keep them light, easy and natural feeling. A variety of techniques including; hard soldering, piercing, forging, patination, stamping and a mixture of torch and kiln fired enameling are combined to create the pieces. Heavy textures, hand cut metal, patinas and layered enamel give the pieces an organic feel.
