New Tools are so much fun.

Well, I had a little bit of time at my bench again. I am still very slow and not very good at some of this stuff. I know that I will only get better with practice. I just wish I knew all the little trick and tips. I am sure I will learn them eventually. I've already learned quite a bit just working on the next two pieces.

The first one is a sterling silver back plate with a domed copper disc. Set inside of that is a bezel set Onyx. I really like the look and feel of this one. I am afraid I didn't do good of a job with this one. The solder doesn't look so good under the dome. Also the angle of the picture is a little off. It is slightly more balanced on the bottom than how it looks here. However, it really is slightly off. When I was firing and the flux got all bubbly, it moved the disc a bit. DANG IT!



This next one was a REAL PAIN to make. But I like the end result. I believe this is a Unakite, but I am not sure. The colors are more muted than my other Unakite stones.



This is another small wire wrapped pendant I did a short while ago. I just kept forgetting to photograph it. I called it "Wind on Fire"



As always, comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
