while recuping yesterday and today, i decided to give a try a new jewelry technique by
stephanie lee that is shown in her new book~Semiprecious Salvage...
stephanie lee that is shown in her new book~Semiprecious Salvage...
her technique instructions are super clear and easy
and as long as you have all the correct tools
it is a breeze, this bracelet took about 1hour to complete
and later in the evening i soldered all the jump rings together...
i had previously purchased a sterling silver spoon from ebay
do not use not a silver plated one..
i am not saying that silver plating will not work but it might just be
alot harder to get the results like stephanie lees ....
i think that the most time comsuming step was stamping the words..
i think that the most time comsuming step was stamping the words..the word "grace" was all ready inscribed on the spoon making it all the more special and on the inside or backside is the date july 22, 1888...
instead of using a lobster clasp i opted for a toggle, i like toggles as there have so many options!
if you have an insterest in jewelry making get stephanie lees book , it is so worth it!!!
