Sterling silver Daffodil candle snuffer - $625
My father, Bill, was an avid gardener and specialized in daffodils. At one time, he had over 150 varieties in the yard. This candle snuffer was inspired by my memory of many hours of helping my dad in the garden. I patterned it after one of his favorites, "King Alfred". It is crafted in Sterling silver and stands ~ 8" tall. 
Sterling silver Angel bell - $325
This angel/bell is crafted in Sterling silver from 20 ga. sheet. I texture the wings by pressing lace into the sheet with my rolling mill, prior to soldering them to the body. The feet act as the clapper. She stands ~ 4" tall and has a nice tinkling sound.
Sterling silver Hummingbird and Cardinal flower - $1200
I was making another decorative hummingbird and decided that it would be interesting to mount it in a flower, as if it was feeding. I first made the bird: the body is .999 fine silver, separate pieces for the back, belly & head and Sterling silver for the wings, tail, beak & feet. Then I identified a native wildflower, the Cardinal flower, as an appropriate mount. This flower grows throughout the summer in North Carolina and produces red flowers that hummingbirds love. The pollen is held in a special curving petal that touches the bird's forehead as it comes in to feed. When moving to another flower, the bird pollinates the other flowers. I made three flowers on this piece from Sterling silver and the bird can be moved from one flower to another. The base is pine needles and an oak leaf made from Sterling silver. Total piece stands ~ 8" tall.

These components were totally hand-fabricated, not cast, from Sterling silver. Signed and dated. Price quotes upon request.
