Fourth Anniversary: SilkNovember 2017 Silk, fine silver, copper, sterling silver Every year, I make my wife an anniversary present that incorporates the material associated with the particlar milestone. The fourth anniversary is traditionally silk or linen, and since silk is a bit more luxe I chose to use it here. I will grant that there is less of the focal material in this piece than in past anniversary giftsbut when the muse hits, the muse hits. To wit: as I was mulling

a delicate ring that started its life as her engagement pendant

connected and further stylized them

asked if I knew who Moore was

Ever since I first drew this adorably maudlin canine face

I liked how each had a side that followed the curves of the center stone

I used the central motif to make this Christmas ornament for them—my hope is that when they trim their tree every December

This elegant cartouche's gently convex form is is the perfect gift to express your feelings to your loved one

but they're perfectly round and light enough to wear all day without noticing them

or the Kabbalistic Tree of Life
