Adventures in Jewelry Making

For one of my summer classes, I decided to take a course called Intro to Jewelry and Metal Design. I assumed the class would just be stringing some beads on a string and calling it a day. It turned out to be far more interesting. The class was a summer immersion class, so it ran for 5 days from 9am-5pm. We came home with at least one piece of metal jewelry each day.

Day 1: Basic shape with a special word stamped in.

Day 2: A cuff bracelet with lyrics

 Day 3: A silver ring

 Day 4: Nature-shaped pendants

 Day 5: Anything goes

I had a lot of fun doing the metalworking, so I bought a few hundred dollars worth of supplies in order to keep making creations at home.
