I had lots of fun with the rubber cuffs, and making jewelry with fine metals is almost as fun!I can't find the pendant that I made the first night (it's unfinished -- I put it in a special safe place -- you know, those places that you stumble upon months later?)
This is the ring that I made during week 2. It fits me perfectly -- however, Lauren loves it too -- so it *might* go to her.
I learned how to measure a strip of metal so the ring will fit you perfectly. After I cut a strip of silver, I sent it through a rolling mill with a skeleton leaf, then re-cut the metal to size, annealed it, formed it into a near circle, then soldered it, then formed it and antiqued it and polished it. I can do this!
Next up is lost wax carving and casting. WooHoo!

very cool Martha!
happy weekend,xo
Now you're getting into the really serious stuff! Bravo.
It's an absolutely beautiful ring!
This is stunning! I thought I might like to take that class, perhaps in May. But my anxiety about not being able to keep up with the class is holding me back. I hate being stupid in public. But I just might try - if I can figure out how to get there by TTC.
This is gorgeous!
great information in your blog.i think your blog must have a Pr2-3.
Martha, you're so talented! This is lovely; can't wait to see what you do next :-)
Beautiful Ring Martha!!!! be careful this gets expensive fast!!!!!!!
What a fabulous ring. It's kind of grungy, crackly and leafy all at the same time. Love it!
WoW! That is gorgeous. Awesome work.

Hey Martha
It looks great! Where did you take this class?
Martha, The ring is beautiful. I can't believe it is one of your first efforts! Love the cuffs the kids did too.
That's so cool! I like how it looks like the veins of a leaf..
