A Passel of Profession Rings


Saturday's J101 class just finished a fantastic set of profession rings. Everything from a teacher to a heart surgeon. Yay soldering! We've just begun the final project - wire link bracelets. Check back for more student projects soon.

Another thank you in 3D

One of my students brought studio fuzzishu a nifty present - a bag full of 6g. copper wire.


I decided to make her a thank you gift as well, a forged copper bracelet.


I had to guesstimate a good starting size, anneal and solder it.

I then began forming the bracelet's tapering hammered shape on my anvil (yay, anvil!)


I cheated just a little and used the saw to remove the extra flare rather than taper the ends with a hammer.


Then some filing and refining.


And voila! Bracelet - so simple and comfy I had to make one for myself too :D

a 'thank you' in 3D




I whipped out this 'worry stone' keychain as a thank you to friend who gifted me a variety of steel ball bearings the other day. The idea of a moving ball riveted between two sheets of metal was given to me a few months back by my student Cindy. Thanks Cindy! And JV for the BBs.
