That's really good Jane!! Byzantine is one I have avoided as it look so complicated lol!
that looks great Sunny
haven't decided what to do myself. Lately I've been too busy making things I've done before...
ideally I'd like to try something I don't need to buy loads of new tools to do - lol!
Georgeous heart Nic! Are you sure this is your first attempt at riveting?!
Sunny I love that maille. Also love the idea of using copper pipe for the ring!
Hows everyone else getting on with their new technique? I haven't opened my pack of clay yet but did use sheet silver and a disc cutter for the first time the other week (results on blog if you want to have a look). RL is getting in the way of my crafty life at the moment- haven't been on here for a while. Got a fair bit of catching up to do.
I'm determined to have a go at using the silver clay before the next challenge though ...
Hi Gemma
Thank you & yes definately the first but am doing lots of experimenting with it now
Love the "disk cutter" pendant the edge is gorgeous

Gemma that disk pendant is FAB!! I LOVE that the knotwork design is not perfectly the same on each side - it has a real ancient feel to it, you have a talent for that!
Not the 'New Technique' I said I was going to try (yet) but when I finished each of these rings (for Ring A Day) I realised that they both entailed techniques I had not tried before;
1. Janice Berkebile's Pod Ring - I bought the Tutorial AGES ago but haven't really found a bead I thought it would work with. This time I used one of the beads I made when I had my one-to-one session with Julie Fountain of Lushlampwork. It uses a different basketweaving technique which I hadn't tried before.
2. A Ring for Me - two new techniques for me on this ring; the first was the filigree type work in 0.5mm wire, and the second was a bezel on a curved surface. I have oxidised the ring and distressed the edges to make it look 'old'.
Love them both but my favourite is the filigree one
Did you add the filigree while it was flat or after you'd shaped it?
