I've been creating earrings and pendants from walnut, red oak, and padauk, each featuring a unique painted canvas insert. They're lightweight, handmade, and one of a kind.
I start by cutting solid hardwoods—such as maple, red oak, walnut, and padauk—into strips. From these, I laser cut earring and pendant blanks.
Next, I create a painting, which is then laser cut into canvas inserts. Finally, each piece is assembled, finished with varnish, and fitted with sterling silver findings: ear hooks and jump rings for earrings, and jump rings with cotton cord for pendants.
