First Jewellery Piece?

[Lindyloo]

My first attempts were also in fimo. Flower neclaces made with a friend at high school. My Mum wouldn't let me do art at school, so I only got to do real metalwork as an adult. The first piece was a pierced flower pendant.
Have moved on a bit from then. I have just spent the afternoon piercing out a picture of a Chinaman in brass as a bookmark for my Dad for Christmas.

You probably wouldn't be very surprised to learn that my first piece of jewellery made was a Titanium ring.

Oooh I wanna go at this. Do I need fancy stuff or can I just use regular scissors and glue?

lol Coco!

My first real silver 'piece' was the two practice pieces that we made in silver jewellery class. We were given a 3x3cm piece of silver and had to cut in half. Then we had to sand and polish one piece to a mirror shine and texture the other using a doming block and hammers. I cut mine diagonally to make triangles (most of the class cut into two rectangles) and when finished put a hole through one corner of each, added jump rings and hung them on a chain.

Regular scissors will work but you need special glue made from a paste of mosquito milk and ant sweat bound together with powdered Rhino horn and plankton.

Technically yes. All the ants, mosquitos, rhinos and plankton we use are all volunteers.
