Jewelry creations in silver

In collaboration with Anne Zimmer, small, fine, unique pieces of jewelry have been created. This time it was to be a ring.

A little bird has emerged from a seed pod of an ornamental grass.

Here still without resin sealing. This little bird has a little resemblance to a budgerigar. When I processed the pod, the seeds fell out. I immediately reattached one of them as a small tuft at the top. Now this could also be a cockatiel. That’s the way it is in free art – there is room for interpretation 🙂

Some quirky birds are also available as pretty little pendants. Only and exclusively at Anne Zimmer! Wexstraße Hamburg.

Super cute! Super exhausting for me. Only once was I reckless enough to make five in a row.

Afterwards, I felt a bit nauseous as I have to hold my breath at times to keep my hands still when designing. After work, I really needed a walk to take a deep breath. Anne Zimmer lovingly prepares the pendants by hand from real silver. I finish them with VogelArt.

    Juno and the Art of Imperfection

    Summer at Last It’s finally June. Time for outings, for hikes, for a cup of coffee on the main avenue in Bad Pyrmont—and for all those conversations with the lovely people you rarely saw during the winter. The days are growing longer, the meadows are lush, and the light streams so generously through the windows…

  • Tell me where the bugs are

    About flying diamonds, chocolate wrappers, and a spoon coat of arms from Ulm June has the floor. Outside, the air is buzzing and humming again—in the hedges, the meadows, and through the warm air—that delicate, humming orchestra of tiny creatures that delights me anew every summer. I know not everyone shares my enthusiasm. But anyone…

My thoughts are reflected in my work.
