With the support provided by the Saskatchewan Arts Board, this creative grant allowed me the time to experiment and play with techniques that I had only touched upon and afforded me the ability to investigate new possibilities.  I have researched other technical skills that I was less familiar with, then practiced these to my satisfaction.  Some of these techniques included advanced stone setting focusing on prong and flush mounts, chasing and repousse, scoring and bending, hollow forms, mechanisms including box catch, channel clasp, brooch mechanisms and hinge construction, foldforming, copper electroforming, keum-boo, forging, silk knotting, developing new textures, and the incorporation of concrete. 
            My aim was to create a group of compelling new wearable works that reflect the artistic possibilities of metal as jewellery.  By mastering these new techniques and adding them to my repertoire, my work has evolved to a higher level, aiding in my execution of a more elaborate and complex body of work.
            I am now excited to have any opportunity to showcase my new collection that embodies these new design ideas and incorporates traditional jewellery techniques with contemporary aesthetic values, an exhilarating and innovative body of work that pushes the boundaries of my past jewellery assembly.

Design:
The shape of this piece represents the province of Saskatchewan, the land of living skies.
The bottom represents the golden fields, with the clouds above.
The clouds are reaching high to also be incorporated in the clasp.
