Vårsalong

With some help from Sweden I now have two pieces of jewellery exhibited in "Vårsalongen", an exhibition in Pukeberg, Nybro which lasts another week from now. It´s a jury that has decided on various pieces of hand made crafts to exhibit for three weeks. If you are close by please take a look!

Learning to work with silver

I am now taking a course in working with silver. Here I will show what I've done so far...my first piece :) The first photo is off the "classroom" where we each have our own table to work on. The second photo is of the work in progress and the third photo is of the finished piece. It is made with silver 950 and the stone is a Rodacrosita from Argentina. The silver I have melted myself and mixed with 5% copper and then given the form and cut out the form of the butterfly and made the "box" to put the stone in, polished etc. Since I am taking the course here in Peru it is in Spanish and I don´t really know all the terms in English...But maybe the photos will speak for themselves ;)
