Silver Class - Spring Term Year 2


It was Friday yesterday which means it's back to silver class after the winter break. As usual after every break, I had intended to sort out my tool box, think about what projects I might attempt, maybe even do some homework. As usual after every break, I had not. So I went in with a blank mind and a messy tool box. But I came out with a pair of earrings ready to wear for work today so something must have gone right?! 


I have a collection of stones that I'd like to set and turn into something fabulous but the idea I had for them was a little more challenging that I could cope with yesterday, after a bit of a stressful day all I wanted was a quick fix and a chance to play with fire. And something I could show off to my new colleagues! A pair of earrings! I had this random circle of silver hanging about from a failed project last year so decided to use that. I drew on two stars and cut them out, I then drew on two more as I wasn't happy with the shape, one was really pointy and could have been slightly dangerous...



 I filled down the two I liked the best so they were a similar size and then soldered on some preprepared earring posts. 



After a bit of a polish they were ready to go. And I left class with a new pair of earrings in my ears! Not bad for a evenings work!
