jewelry making introduction...

my second project

for intro to jewelry making

with chunghi choo

was an attempted mobius

out of silver

which was way out of my price range

so i decided to try

12 gauge aluminum instead

after hammering away for many hours

i decided to switch things up

and due to the limited time span

i did a simple twist

hammered texture on the outside

wire mesh texture on the inside

not perfect

but a good beginning

my first project

was a pair of 22 gauge copper earrings

special chunghi choo patina

gives them the beautiful

blue and black

they are my "virgin piece"

these are a few extra bits and pieces

that i made in the mean time

i loved to play with

heat coloring copper

there will definitely be more pieces

to come...
