Creation can be...well....ugly

So I have been witholding photos of my work from the Jewelry course, mainly because I seem to be talentless.

Ring at top, 'spring' waiting to become chain, and chain links ready to be soldered

But I am pushing on and despite ruining 1 hr worth of labour Wednesday night in 1 minute by over annealing my 'spring' which will eventually become a chain bracelet, I soldiered on and repeated the task.

We were also introduced to the buffing machine which gives an amazing look to the metal but terrifying. "You can lose a finger, or be scalped if you get your hair stuck". Oh goodie. I am in then!
