WORKSHOPS - What are you doing next Saturday morning?

How would you like to make your own unique hand stamped sterling silver pendant?

There are still a couple of places available on the Textured Silver Pendant Workshop.

Head over to my website for more information and to book your place. Link is in my bio.

Give yourself something to look forward to 😊

WORK IN PROGRESS - The more I work with metal, the more I realise how important it is not to rush things.

Trying to do things quickly generally ends up with me making something that I’m less than happy with, or that I have to rework.

When working with silver, slow and steady is a good thing.

Case in point is this little silver bowl, which I’m hand forging (using a variety of hammers to form the shape).

This is how it’s coming along.

At this stage I’m not entirely sure if I will be able to make it look anything like my original design.

But I will give it a go.

Who knows the metal may guide me in a new direction (or I might end up with an unexpected ‘design feature’ 😉).

Time will tell.

I just thought you might like to see how it’s progressing.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - Just a little reminder to do

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - Just a little reminder to do more of what makes you happy.

With all the demands of our everyday lives it’s sometimes all too easy to forget this.

We get pulled from one commitment to the next and often in several directions at the same time, putting ourselves last.

But spending time each day (or at the very least every week) doing something that makes us happy, in my humble opinion, has got to be incredibly good for us.

What would you like to do more of?

ON THE WORKBENCH - Here’s hoping you had a good Easter. As it was somewhat wet here I enjoyed a bit of time in the studio starting to make a silver ring.

This is a piece of what’s known as sterling silver stock gauge, which I’ve rolled a little to make it thinner at the ends and chunkier in the middle.

As you can see it’s still very much a work in progress. My plan is to set 5 tiny 3mm gemstones in it.

What stones do you think I should use? 🤔
