 Wire Work Guitar.
I was asked to make something guitar or music related for a a man who did not wear jewellery. So this gave me a chance to practice making a wire guitar. The fretwork is made from weaving.It was well received, the photos here do not do it justice.

Plans for February

I have just posted January silversmith projects  and happy to have kept to the months aims.I had a good practice at bezel settings and  made a spinner ring. I want to make a spinner ring for a frien and had to have a practice run.
During February I have to make a gift in a gift exchange and have a lot of ideas to put together and learn a new technique.
I also intend to merge silversmith and wire weaving,probably starting with some copper examples.I want to make a weaved band to mount over a ring like in a spinner ring. I also have  a ring to make for my daughter and a soldered and weaved bezel for a stone setting.
I really need to wrap some of the lovely sea glass I have collected.

January 2014 Silversmithing projects, including spinner ring, textured ring,lapis lazuli gemstone ring and sodalite pendant

Textured Silver Ring and Pendant with Stone Setting, January 2014

In progress, messy.

I made the stone setting to go on the ring.However when finishing the ring I decided I liked it plain.I wear it everyday now. I was intending to make another ring and decided to finish stone setting first.Last minute change of plan resulted in this pendant.I can still add it to a ring when I  fancy a change from the pendant.This is stone setting number 4 and was definitely easier than the others, The ring and pendant need a special polish finish.
