About this item

Whether you’re moody or neutral ~ own your mood. This hand-hammered copper 3-inch diameter trinket bowl is the result of my “mood” being focused upon a constructive purpose! One controlled hammer stroke at a time brings this sweet little dish to life by leaving behind thousands of tiny footprints. Watch the video to learn more about sinking and planishing.

Accompanying the copper dish are three flame-painted mood tokens, two of which are stamped with words 'NEUTRAL' and 'MOODY'. Display one token or the other in the dish to reflect your current mental space. The third token is blank. You may request a custom word (up to 7 ALL CAPS letters) to be stamped on it, otherwise it will be left blank so that you may write your own word with a sharpie felt marker.

A dark patina was added to the bowl and then lightly burnished to bring out it’s unique character and beauty. Over time, copper develops a deep richness. I will include a small piece of polishing cloth.

Color/material: Copper with burnished dark patina for aged appearance.

Bowl size: 3" diameter, apx 7/8" deep. Holds a scant 1/4 measuring-cup of water.

Tokens: three 1"x3/4" oval copper discs; two are stamped - one says MOODY, one says NEUTRAL. One disc is blank and ready for custom stamped word, if desired.

Refer to photos showing size of bowl in relation to a dime, my hand, and my I Love You ring (dime, ring, hand, or any other props are not included in sale).

Use for ring, earrings, runes, memento, memorial, keepsake, tiny token, offering, etc.

Perfect for 7th Anniversary gift.

Only the bowl and three oval tokens are included in sale. Any other props are not included.

Gift box included.

Turner, Oregon, USA. Since 1993, Wild Gatherings has been my creative playground. Today, my journey focuses on art, home décor, and jewelry handmade from raw, reclaimed, or recycled copper and silver, torch- and kiln-fired lead-free vitreous enamel, and gemstones. Living in the Pacific Northwest, I am inspired by the wild textures of lichen, moss, rough bark, flora & fauna, and flowing streams—and I try to bring these organic elements into every piece I make. Thank you for supporting an independent artist. Think kind thoughts. Love, Shirley

Wildswalle Turner, Oregon | I am an artist & crafter in the Pacific Northwest who loves making copper & silver décor & jewelry.

Hello! I'm Shirley. Welcome to my Wild Gatherings. I appreciate you being here! I create functional and decorative metal art & jewelry, using mostly old-school techniques. I specialize in kiln- and torch-fired vitreous enamel on copper & silver. Gemstones are a passion for me, as is re-purposing metals into items for decor or dress. I value integrity. My motto - be curious and ask questions.

My first soldering experience was for a school project at age 13 - a very intricate miniature three-wheeled surrey with moving wheels, a steering rod, and twisted-wire fringe on top. My dad, Willard, was very supportive of my "playing" in the garage. He would set me up with a soldering gun, a lathe, a saw, hammer and nails, or whatever I needed. I learned at an early age, by example, that I could do anything. If I didn't quite know how, I would figure it out.

WILD GATHERINGS ~ How Wild Gatherings came about: In 1993 I was preparing to engage in my very first craft booth at the local year-round Public Market in Salem, Oregon. I was creating lists of items that I could make to sell. On one of the lists were objects I could collect in the wild such as seeds, sage, wildflower bouquets, etc. At the top of this particular list I entered the title, "Wild Gatherings". The name stuck and became all-encompassing for the many aspects of my craft. For the next ten years or so, I maintained an art & craft booth and participated in local Saturday Markets as well as art and craft shows in the Pacific Northwest and Southern-to-Northern California ~ offering a myriad of handmade creations: kaleidoscopes (copper or stained glass), obsidian needle chimes (I dug the obsidian needles myself at Davis Creek, CA), perfumes and soaps, copper olive oil lamps, geode aromatherapy diffusers, bud vases made out of old silverware, handmade cone incense [yes, I formed each cone, one at a time, by hand], beeswax & soy wax candles, and many other articrafts. My Wild Gatherings booth won the "Most Excellent Merchant's Display Of The Faire" at the 1997 Valhalla Renaissance Festival at Lake Tahoe. I was proud to be featured in local newspapers, as well.

I've been fascinated by copper and it's many uses. Back in the '80's my stepmom gifted me a small copper-enameling kiln along with some copper blanks and a few samplings of enamels. I kept it all, just in case I might want to do something with it some day.

Fast forward to 2014. I offered myself the choice to either part with my stash, or build a space where I could once again be creative with the materials that I had hoarded for so long. Thus, I built my atelier ~ complete with hot & cold running water, two skylights, a vaulted ceiling, and a crystal chandelier.

FORMAL TRAINING: I was an art major in school. For two years in the early nineties I trained with an old master Silversmith in the art of sterling silver lost wax casting and sterling fabrication. Through experimentation, detail observation, reading, successes, and many ah-hah! moments, I am primarily self taught with more than a half-century of experience.

FOR THE BLIND and/or VISUALLY IMPAIRED: For fourteen years I was a computer graphic artist, creating tactile graphics for higher education math textbooks for college students who are blind. I have read, cover to cover, dozens of calculus, algebra, physics, chemistry, and statistics textbooks, and created - on a computer - a tactile representation of every diagram in each book, complete with braille labels. The diagrams were embossed on a special braille printer and inserted into a [huge] braille rendition of the textbook. I incorporate Braille into some of my jewelry. The term "I am enough" is particularly appropriate.

I compose my work from raw, reclaimed, or recycled copper; .999 fine silver; .935 Argentium Silver; .925 Sterling Silver; sterling findings; vitreous lead-free enamel powders and frit; and various re-claimed metals and materials. Enameled pieces are either torch or kiln-fired. I love wild things like lichen, moss, rough tree bark, insects, and flowing streams. I aspire for these textural elements to be reflected in my ever-evolving Wild Gatherings. Thank you for supporting an independent artist, and for taking the time to learn what "handmade" truly means. Shop small. Support independent artists and businesses. Be kind, take care, and fare well.

My mantra - think kind thoughts, and watch your words - they become your destiny.

Maker Badge Treasured Object

I have a very old anvil made from a section of railroad track. It belonged to my dad. He had it probably since the 1940's. He could make or fix anything, and he taught me early on by example that I, too, could do anything. The anvil sits in a place of honor on my jeweler’s bench.
