Rabbit Of Inle Brooch

This piece is inspired by one of my favorite movies from my childhood Watership Down.

This piece will eventually be a brooch, but before I put the brooch back on it I want to take a mould of it.

I will be filling the eyes with red resin and the entire piece will have varying degrees of patina.

After I take a mould of this I can change what ever I want on it , like remove the spirals or change the eyes and then take a mould of that too.

Tip Of The Month E5

Tip Of The Month-September 9, 2016

This is a soldering tip. Charcoal blocks, can’t live without them. I use them for a lot of soldering jobs, like most of my nose rings. The handy thing about them is you can drill and carve into them. I drill holes for earring posts and nose stud stems and then insert the wire and construct the design on top. You can also carve into the charcoal to set tubing for hinges in, so that they have the same thickness of tubing is on  both sides of the pieces you are attaching them to.
