Metalsmithing

It was so fun using different metals together. I've only ever used silver. The copper and brass compliment each other nicely.

It was fun to experiment with different textures too. One layer has a brushed sunburst finish and the other has a hammered finish.

Cool. I really want to get into metalsmithing. I have put a lot of money into stamping metals, but have yet to create my own designs (other than stamping the words on!)

you can see, if you care, at nestinbloom.com

It's always fun to try new things! And even better when you find out how much you like the new technique :)
