Just finished my second jewelry making class at the Crucible. The picture is of the wing that I made, attached to a hair clip using a strip of scrap leather. The wing is made of copper, silver and cut up photographs, and the stone is snow onyx. I made sort of a mess of the bezel setting, breaking the rivet that it was on at the same time, but luckily onyx is hard and doesn’t melt easily, so it was pretty fixable. The rivet’s not quite as tight as I would like, thanks to the fact that the solder job was less clean the second time around, but the leather tightens it up along with attaching it to the hair clip.
Sorry about the photo quality – one of my coworkers took it with her iPhone. I’ll get a real camera some day soon, no really.
