The Process
All of the items I create start from either a photograph, drawing, or computer generated piece of art. Here I will use an image from my "Beer Speak" series to demonstrate the process.
First...
An image is selected

Second...
The color is stripped from the image

Third...
The image is printed onto PNP (press and peel paper) – a resist used in etching

Fourth...
The image is etched into copper
Fifth...
Wax pieces are created using the copper etch plate

Sixth...
Using the lost wax method, pieces are centrifugally cast using sterling silver and gold

Lastly...
Each piece is hand patinated and polished
