Metal Art by Martha

Martha Thompson

I design and create personal adornments that are organic and sculptural. I personally perform all of the creative aspects involved in my work. Each piece is hand-fabricated from sterling silver with accents of 22k gold. I use techniques such as forging, raising, and various surface embellishments to give the metal depth and texture. The finish is obtained by oxidizing the piece and then buffing it. The stones in my work range from a variety of precious and semi-precious stones.
