Work from one of our newest members

March 4, 2021 By Carol

Below are samples of what has been achieved by one of our newer members in one month at the club, amazing job Lisa, love the enthusiasm.

 

I made the bracelet first and have learnt some great techniques.  Would have embossed it a little bit heavier and there's a couple of solder joints that annoy me but overall happy with the result.  Moved on to the other bracelet but extended it longer doing a single figure 8 and then a double link.  Haven't added a closing clasp yet.  Might cut it and turn it into a couple of smaller bracelets or smaller necklace for my granddaughter.  Possibly a toggle end or S shape clasp ..... to be continued lol.  From the chain I got great experience with how much solder to use (don't enjoy removing solder) and now feel confident soldering thinner gauge.   Made a quick ring with filing,  70% happy with that one.  Should have filed the middle line crisper only using the very end of the rats tail file.  Made mistake of using more of the file.   Not quite centred too.   Went home and did it after class.  We remember our mistakes.
