I've been doing more handforging of sterling and copper and I'm loving it. The noise is a bit much (well for my husband, who works from home also. lol) and my hands and fingers are sore, but it's sooo worth it. The shapes and textures are great. And I've been giving some of them an aged patina also using liver of sulpher (which stinks like rotten eggs) and they turned out great. I need to get a couple more tools to make the work easier and the variety better, hopefully soon.
Anyway, I'll put photos up soon of the new stuff, check back!
...Crumbling Stone walls & Cobblestone Streets, Ancient Arches & Slick High-rises, Jagged Mountaintops & Meandering Roads, the Rush of City Marketplaces & the Ache of Ancient Villages... these are the things that influence and inspire me; the shapes, textures and cultures of the world. I try to convey that emotion in my jewelry and I hope you are inspired by it.
