Fold Formed Copper Leaf Earrings
Thursday was our last week of metalsmithing class for the year. I try to do things there that I can't do at home due to lack of equipment. One thing I lack is a good vice. Well, it's not like I don't have vices, just not one that will hold metal. :D So I did the folding and hammering on these earrings at class. At home I was able to cut them out and stamp the edges to give them a ripple effect. I really like the way these turned out and I might have to ask Santa Claus for a vice.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful earrings! I love them!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Delia! I guess I will have to break down and get a vice. These sold the first day they were out at a show.
ReplyDeleteI wish there are classes like this where I live
