Group of some of the stuff I've been up to. Some enamel among them. Some finished, some not,
some almost hopeless, but I just stubbornly keep at it. And that's the way forward
Anyway,
to show the bracelets. A bunch of joints to solder, and lots of filing and sanding, but it can
be done, even by a hopeless project like me, according to my guru, Tom, lol. Not really, he's very
supportive, and a great teacher.
I too wanted to do some bracelets. The solid one one it's side in the foreground is Tibetan, easily 100's of
years old, and I dearly love it. I've worn it since the 70's. I'm not close to that accomplishment, but I'm going to try to get there.
Just plugging away, lol. And you can too. Oh, and the single large circles are done with fusing. Put some Blue Fuse on the ends,
and heat without solder 'til the surface runs. I used fine silver here, it's easier, but Tom's done it with sterling...not so sure it was on purpose, but I give him
credit, lol. Tony
