Tip Of The Month E3

Tip Of The Month- May,09,2016

Hello everyone,

I have a texture hack for you today, this past winter I was wondering how to get that cool texture that is just like a soft mottled texture like I have on this piece I am working on.

I love this texture its like grunge texture and it will look awesome when I patina it. the trick I found is to use a weighted nylon mallet and a fire brick, just place the piece of metal face down on the fire brick and hammer it with medium force, you may also want to move it around to get more variety of pattern.

Tip Of The Month- April 10, 2016

If you have ever stamped a piece of metal you know how hard it can be to line everything up. The last thing you need to worry about is the metal moving. so the tip is blue painters tape, any tape will do but painters tape won’t leave gunk on your metal or bench block

Orbit2 Sterling Silver and Copper Kinetic Earrings

These earrings are so cool! I love the way they move, both the center handmade copper bead and the sterling silver ring spin independently. The slight weight of the bead and the ring give a nice pendulum action while moving around.

Grossular Garnet A Frame Earrings

These earrings are truly awesome. in direct sun light the stones light up the inside of the copper cup (pic 6) . These earrings hang great and feel great a little on the heavy side at 5.5 grams, I used 20g/.80mm sterling silver for the body of the earring. The stone is some type of grossular green garnet and the shape of them is terrific, I used that in the shape of the earring body.
