I started making up samplers for color combos - on small sheets
My first one was not too successful but was lots of fun to play with
the second was much better
Played with some other colors but they turned out more like my first and not as defined as the second- I'll have to work on that
Made up 51 pairs of silver ear wires
Cut - balled-ends filed- bent then tumbled to a shine
I like both your powder pieces. What's next for them?
ReplyDelete51 pairs ... 102 earwires? ... WOW! It would take me forever.
Making samples first - then I'll put some glass to them - I may cut up to make a small sample for my book and others into cabs for jewellery - if long enough maybe a bracelet - actually the wires did not take too long
ReplyDeleteI had 30ft of 18g silver wire - cut it all first - took about 10 min max
then I balled them up 10-15 minutes - then I sat down and did 12 at a time - bend the loop, file the ends - used a bur cup - then bent them on a sharpie - may have been less than an hour - then tossed them into the tumbler for about an hour with some soap and mixed shot- I was pretty impressed it didnt take me all day - so now I have to make the earrings
