I took a silver smithing class about 4 years ago. did not practice much as I don't have a good torch set. I took another class two weeks ago. This is what I did in class. They're not perfect, but I had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Thanks for looking. I asked santa for a torch set.

I have been smithing for a few years and I like the not perfect look. Great job

You can see much improvement from the first to the second. Nice work. Hopefully you stay off Santa's naughty list & get your torch.

I think they look pretty good. What kind of torch do you want Santa to bring?

They're very good! The imperfect finish says: "hand made"!

... I asked santa for a torch set. May all your Christmas wishes be granted. Great pieces, Amy.

I like the bale on the the laboradite piece. I have a mental block when making a few pieces. I feel my bales are one of my weak points.

I thought so. I've been gone for a bit and don't know everyone very well yet. It is sometimes hard to tell humor in type.
Thanks everyone for your kind words. I will continue to practice (if I'm on santa's good list) and post more.

I am always learning something, and always having fun doing it. I love knowledge and creativity. So life is good with rocks.

It amazes me that rocks as inanimate things, can inspire us to be creative and by doing so, we give them personality.
