Still for sale?
Your bracelet looked great last month, congratulations. You should go for the double lol
Are you entering anything this month Snorkmaiden? Or are you keeping us in suspense until the very end [emoji2] thanks for the nice comments
No big secret really, just a good pair of round nose pliers and a lot of patience. Curling and crimping the silver wire was the most time consuming part of the job. I also made a small 9ct rose gold...
It's a closely guarded family secret [emoji6]

Hi I'm looking for an objective lens .5x for my Meiji emz 5, I can get one from the US but with postage and import fees it doubles the original cost of the lens 😔
Iv tried Meiji.uk and suttons but...
No managed to source a metal one of similar size on eBay, just tidied it up a little and made a few alterations then cast it up in gold using the delft clay.
That's a nice bit of news, iv been having a nightmare with a pair of 18ct rose gold earrings I'm making today, so this has definitely cheered me up a bit today, thanks cooksons.
Some great entries...
Hi Lucie, I have had a couple of customers asking me to do fingerprint jewellery in gold, I know you can get the pic clay in 22ct but it's really expensive. How did you manage to do this heart? Did...
Thanks all, I'm usually quite critical of my work but I was really happy with the end product and it was challenging yet enjoyable to make. Good luck everyone, great entries as usual.
Hi I use the ones from cooksons and they seem fine although you need to be careful with small parts like the end of fingers etc as they can easily detach from the plastic backing.89758976
Love that blue topaz ring James, nice clean work
Hi, great entries so far. Here's my contribution, a customer wanted something made from her late mothers gold, we came up with this design as she wanted quite a large statement piece and wanted an...
I'll start it off with a silver snowflake bangle I made.84198420
Cheers both, I'll try the art clay paste on cooksons site
I don't do much silver clay work and try to avoid where possible as I don't enjoy working with it, but I have about 20 orders for Christmas for jobs where I need to use the art clay, I need to join...
Thanks unhindered, I am quite proud of it, nothing to technical, but it was a beautiful looking piece, it has now been picked up by its new owner and she was over the moon with it.
Lol, thanks Peter. Maybe I should learn how to spell it first before I attempt having a go:)
I ment Keum-boo not Mokugame sorry, wouldn't mind trying both saying that. So many techniques I see on these Cookson design competitions that I would love to try and then incorporate into my work...
[QUOTE=metalsmith;83070]That's amazing!
Let me know if she doesn't and 'we'll send round "the lads"'.[/QUOTE
Thanks Metalsmith, I'm sure she will if not my wife has called first dibs lol
Cheers great I'll take a look, just spent £200 on macro lens last week though
Think your selling yourself a bit short, I'd be over the moon with that piece, there's some techniques there that I would love to master, what do you use for the oxidation? That's one I struggle with...
Photos look really good to me 😀 what kind of set up do you use? Any special, lights, tents etc also are you using your camera phone or a dslr, I recently bought a macro lens for my dslr but still...
