Finally Made a Tutorial!

Ok... not just ONE tutorial, but TWO!

I had been kicking the idea around in my head for a while, but well, you know how that goes.... procrastination is always first in line. Besides, it not only required clearly written, understandable instructions, but good, clear photographs as well. Photos taken by another party, as my hands would be busy weilding my tools of the trade.

So the first tutorial I made is for my Simple Stone Bangle. It is a no-solder bangle, that can easily have many styles from dark and rustic to shiny metal and bling sparkles! They are super easy to make, and look good just piled on, the more the merrier. Great stacking bracelets, if you ask me.

Anyway, enough talking eh? Wanna see? Ok....




If you would like to make your own, here's the link: http://www.etsy.com/listing/96255593/simple-stone-bangle-tutorial-no-solder?ref=v1_other_2

The second tutorial I made is for my funky Cage Pendant. It's awesome for capturing memories... a stone found on a walk, shell on that seaside vacation, your Grandma's thimble, a small toy from your childhood, a cork from that bubbling bubble bath bottle (you thought I was going to say champagne, didn't you?)... This one requires very minimal soldering, and a little bit of torch work. But we all like playing with fire, right?

Here's some pictures:

Well, it's been good typing to all of you. It's been too long.

Tis the Season

Hello Everyone,
It has been a while. Tomorrow is my last day working for 'the man', and I will be concentrating my efforts on family life at home and building my business. What does this mean? I guess we will find out wont we!
I will be taking the VIA to the cabin for Christmas. I will meet my parents and son there. We will have a cozy time with the wood heat and 'mommy, nuggle?' times.
I anticipate taking advantage of being on the train by myself on the way there. Starting out with a blank memory card so I can take lots of photos. I haven't done that for a LONG time! I will have to post some upon my arrival back into the electric world.
I am sorry to be rambling... it's been too long since I've posted anything, and I think I've forgotten how...
Until the new year: Enjoy your Christmas - remember, the reason Jesus was born, was to die for us, and greater still to come back to life FOR US.
Love you.

Silver-me-Smith

Some of you may know that I am taking up the art of being a silversmith. Now you all know.

It has been exciting, to say the least! I have always been interested in making jewelry, and have always been attracted to metal, so it is time I learned a bit more about it.

Here's a bit of what I've been working on... we'll see what else comes in the future...
