I worked with Lindsay today on some special orders, including a necklace for a soon-to-be mother and a stamped metal pendant. It was my first time cutting, buffing and stamping metal- it was a very successful day!
This was one of my most memorable days. Angie taught me how to effectively cut shapes out of metal. She drew an ellipse with a scalloped interior as an exercise in metalcutting (Angie does a great job challenging me) and set me to work with a saw. I learned new techniques from the beginning to the end of the session (choosing a blade, preparing the saw, proper cutting techniques, SANDING-and how important it is, creating a satin finish, bending the metal). When I see Angie again next week, we will create earring findings for the brass pieces and take some pictures! Thanks Angie!
