Original little silver things



Items of made-to-order

These are made-to-order items.
Listened to client's request and I designed and made.

Wolf ring I mentioned in past post.

Kiwi bird on Crescent moon.
Very New Zealand design as I met the client in NZ.
she loves NZ so much.


A drip from a lotus flower.

This diamond was originally on keepsake of client's mother that was an engagement ring.
The ring was old fashion design and the client wanted it to be something she can always wear.
So it became a pink gold necklace.


This owl design is based on native American's.



Moon and stars.

WOLFANGEL

Besides working as a graphic designer, after that, for a set design company (the biggest project was for Tokyo Disney Land) ,
I started to get model making (carving lost wax for silver ware) job for made-to-order silverware as a freelancer.


After I experienced some items from an silversmith,
I decided to have my own brand named "WOLFANGEL".

Its' products are designed with Nature, Wolf, Animal, Angel, Spiritual motifs.

Beginning of WOLFANGEL



This wolf ring is the very first silverware I have made.
It was about 10 years ago, when I graduated from the university.

I was helping a sculptor artist and asked if I was interested in WAX CARVING.
So I tried.

That was the beginning of my silver jewelry making.

Today, I am showing a ring I made for my English teacher recently.

She run the washing machine without knowing that her marriage ring I made for her and her husband who ordered me to make their rings was in it.
It got full of scratches, actually It looked it lost it's weight I guess lol.. as the friction cut it down.

These are the rings originally I made for them

Anyway, so she asked me to make new one by recasting previous one.
What she wanted this time was...

Wolf with diamond eyes.

Upgraded.

Wolf Paintings



I am a member of 'JAPAN WOLF ASSOCIATION'.
They publish journals called 'FOREST CALL' twice a year.
And this time, my painting was used on the front cover.




Japanese wolves are extinct about 150 years ago,
so I painted it not as a entity but a soul.
In short, It's kinda ghost.
Please don't be scared...

This is like:
A shy wolf tilting his neck thinking, 'who are you?'
to the visitor in the forest.

In Japanese, there is an expression: 'escorting wolf'.
It is used as 'a man who escorts a woman home out of lecherous intent'

But originally, It had a different meaning.
It is based on the behavior of wolves.
They follow people until they leave their territory.
Wolves normally don't attack people.

People who lived near wolves even used to have a custom
like bowing down to the forrest after they walked through it safely in the dark.
They thought that wolves protected people in the forest.

This painting was also used in a page of the journal.
My friend I met in New Zealand bought this.


The original paintings of above.

favourites



My favourite hand cream
from LA COMPANIE DE PROVENCE MARSEILLE
and body butter from L'OCCITANE.

I didn't know the brand but I bought the hand cream
in France at first because of the design.
I guessed the smell would be more plain.
It is indeed, but I became a captive of the smell of it.
I can go to heaven! (not for everyone)

I finished the first one and bought the one in the picture
which is bigger size than last time.


The body butter from L'OCCITANE also has
the scent I am stuck on.

I can be in trance with those two smells. (exaggerated)


Peter Jackson isn't connected with this topic, just the back ground.

Cute and Cool birthday card from my artist friend



She understands Spanish but I can't.
Anyway, what she said should be "Happy Birthday"...

Yes, It was right.
I used a translation page.

This picture heals me.

6 birds



It's interesting that they all have certain distance with each other.
