Wowza has it been a while! So after a little prodding by my wonderful sister I realized I better hop back on the horse and get some photos of the work i have been doing lately. It wasn't too hard just had to find a workable camera and shoot all night! Entry into my favorite, and only craft show I participate in (so far), is around the corner and I have been crazily adding to my inventory of handmades. Although i have had a long long break from posting to my blog i have been ever productive, or atleast i'd like to think so!
I have worked on some really cool new rings. I wanted to learn to solder sterling silver so thank goodness for the internet! After reading up on the process I now have a ton of hammered sterling silver rings. They were my first project in soldering and i am addicted. I have an order of gold-filled wire coming and just bought some brass so i am hoping to add to my array of stackables. They are perfect for both female and males (my boyfriend is even sporting some!) The hammering which you don't see too well in this picture picks up so much light, although simple they are really classy. (Classy enough for my bf to be mistaken as married, quite a funny story actually ;)
As far as quantity I was able to get over 25 from 1 oz of sterling silver (16gauge), which I think is pretty darn good, of course the supplies to do this can add up!

These are really nice to mix with the above rings and get all kinds of busy!
