New Year • New Tools • New Techniques

Hello,

Thought I'd share a quick photo post with you. It's a new year, I've been buying some new tools and I am planning to learn some exciting new metal techniques this year! I can't wait!

Cool new bench anvil.

A set of "Lynx setting burs" and stone setting punches (in the background)

A BelOMO 10x Triplet Loupe and some practice stones (green CZ & simulated Alexandrite)

Awesome handmade tools by RW Goldsmith––his original bezel roller & finger burnisher.

Digital calipers and german dividers

Well, that's it for now. Stay tuned and I'll update you on my progress as I learn some new things––top of my list this year is tube setting! I also plan to add rings to my shop. Exciting stuff!

As always, thanks for visiting,

2013 Hallmarket Art Fair

Hello. This blog post is way over-due. I thought you all might like to see some photos from the recent 2013 Hallmarket Art Fair. There were over 100 Hallmark artists displaying and selling their personal artwork to the public. You could find everything from ceramics, paintings, fiber art, woodwork, photography, and of course jewelry of all kinds. And despite raining most of the day, we actually had a decent turn out and even a few sales. :)

My booth display.

My booth display -- some simple, little necklaces.

Some folks braved the rain. :)

The rain finally stopped for good around 3:00 pm. Then, we had a few sales. YAY! :)

Thanks for visiting!
