Metal Jewelry Design Basics


I took another fabulous Wisconsin Union mini-course from Alison Lesniak.  In this class, she taught us the basics of cutting, joining, and soldering metal, as well as adding texture.  I haven't worked this pendant into a finished piece yet, but I am gathering ideas about what I would like the completed necklace to look like!

  2. This looks really impressive. I wonder about how you get to this point with the metal?

  3. This one is just cut with a little jewelry saw, smoothed with a file, and then texturized with a ball-peen hammer.
