Titles are important for an art work I think. Nothing more boring than a "no title". So this crazy ballerina velociraptor wearing a straightjacket-tutu on a popsicle stick is named "Lunatitia Velociraptorina" and she is a brooch :-)

This is "Snow White", a brooch I made some years ago. I played with the fairytale figures “Little Red Riding hood”, the “Bad Wolf” and the “Holy Virgin Mary”.

Because I used the heads of these toy boxer dogs in earclips some years ago, I was left with their headless bodies. I turned them in some funny brooches :-)
Their names: Boxer Boy "Cuby", Boxer Boy "Monty" and Boxer Boy "Bucky".

Think Sustainable! I made in 2017. It is a small sculpture
with a detachable necklace. The font of the letters is of The Hollywood Sign made of mammoth ivory. They are attached to the spine of the tyrannosaurus with magnets. The exclamation mark is its scarf.

Brooch "Tricereyedtops" made in 2017.
The grey stone in its pendant is a meteorite.

Another work in the same series as the two previous posts. It is an object that can be worn as a necklace:

After seeing yesterday's "meeting" at the White House I think it is a good moment to post this work. A ring and necklace I made last year for an exhibition about democracy.

First post on Bluesky, still have to find out how it all works....
As a starter here is one of my works: a ring inspired by Scratchy, the fiddle player from the world famous jewellery punkband Scrotum Clamp.
