I love bright smooth shiny silver ... however ... I also love textured silver which changes the way the light catches the metal. When I started learning metalworking techniques, my husband produced an old set of stamps and punches that were handmade by his grandfather...
Using one of these stamps, I can create the random pattern of my Rustic Disc collection of jewellery...
And recently I have been using another of the stamps to create the light texture on my Mini Flower jewellery...
... and my Textured Drop pendant and earrings..
Thank you Grandpa for adding a new dimension to my jewellery making!
