more metalsmithing

I've been soldering at my workbench a lot very recently and I am so pleased to be fine tuning my technique so I can list more and more things.



I really like the contrast that I've made between my often bright and intricate vintage jewellery and the simple, organic shapes of my silver work. I think it makes each part of my shop really stand out.

I love creating the teardrops in particular, they are so pretty and very satisfying to put together.

I have been working with circles and drops so far but I think I'd like to make more geometric shapes too - squares, diamonds. Watch this space!

adventures with soldering part three

The last time I blogged properly about soldering was here, in October! I was desperate to spend more time on it before now but Weddings and Christmas happened and it all just got left to one side.

Fortunately with a long week off after Christmas I was able to get on with some brand new silversmithed pieces, my Etsy shop is looking great now I have a few soldered silver jewellery items in it.


I hope you like them, there will most definitely be more to come very soon! I've been mostly thinking in a necklace way but I think there will be more earrings soon too.
