Okay…so I must confess, I’ve been getting more and more
interested in metalsmithing since the soldering class that I took back in
December 2010. I do have to say…there is
just something about taking a plain sheet of metal and turning it into
something really cool!
This is the ring that I made in my 1st soldering/metalsmithing
class.
I learned a lot of different techniques while making this ring. Since this class I’ve been eager to learn more!
So this summer, I signed
up for Deryn Mentock’s BOHO Bliss class.
The BOHO Bliss class is taught online and it’s all about making earring
with a Bohemian flair. The course began on
June 24 and will continue through until the end of August. Yes, two full months of instruction!!! Each week Deryn posts a new design to acquire and learn the
different techniques. The first week we
learned how to make basic earrings, the second week focused on BOHO Bliss hoops,
and the third week focused on Abacus hoops.
Here is a picture of the Abacus hoops that I made...
I’m still working on the other designs so I hope to post more
pictures soon!
Be Inspired!
