Silversmithing classes are interesting takes a long time to learn everything and lots of practice like all art things do.The surprising part is that its not all that different from woodworking-you do a lot of sawing and filing and polishing and a lot or jury rigging but its fun to see metal change and become flexible or hard.It makes you appreciate how much workmanship goes into making something as simple as a ring.

Hopefully these forums will make it easier to pop right in where you want to be without reading 5 pages first! The silversmithing classes sound amazing…and I love your trees! Hi Stella and thanks I absolutely love your rose quartz necklace.Yes Silversmithing is interesting I took the first class because I've wanted to learn for a long time and to see if I could do more with the huge stash of stones and slices I have.

Hi Marilyn! wow, those trees are wonderful, they must take a long time to create! Thanks Ya they take pretty long.They didn't in the beginning when I first started to make them but they have evolved over time and now they sure seem to-it makes pricing them always more complicated because I can't be working for 5cents an hour.It wouldn't make any sense to be treating myself worse than if I was living in China because I'm sure its relative their cost of living must be lower than ours.How do we deal with all of this?Sorry about this rant but its something we have to look at especially if things go the way we think they will be.

Ah gee thanks Stacey it means a lot to me that you think that I was looking at my banner tonight and thinking how can I get my trees to look as vibrant and exciting as my banner?So thanks for the vote of confidence.
