Here are some metal earrings I have been making in the last couple of days. The Top and Bottom image is Amazonite briolettes, Center is labradorite. All 3 have first been
wire wrapped. Then I have soldered fine silver to make a ring. The left and center images have both been hammered flat then stamped, then patinaed in liver of sulfur to give them a more rustic look. The bottom one has not been stamped or patinaed. It was tumbled to bring it to a brilliant shiney finish.

Your birds are super cute Gerry! and I like your "about me (you)" history.
Hey Yoli,
Yes, I love teaching the fusing of fine silver.
It really is super easy. I should be teaching a class soon for a necklace. I haven't taught it yet. You just need to come on down south for some southern hospitality and some workshops we have going on in my small little shop.
gerry
