sawing the different plates and soldering them together was not so much of a problem as was the actual forming and shaping them to make one whole.
i started by making a basic ring and a larger one which had to be then shaped to form the top the final work as you can see in my earlier post.
and then i tried to keep track of the process by also taking pictures:
and here s a short video of Mr. Faes helping me to shape the top part of the ring.
it s turned out to be a very striking piece, if i may say so myself, but i m not quite sure yet if i ll be making this one again...
yesterday i went to a little market downtown, where beginning jewellers and artists showed some of their work. some of it was quite inspiring, and at the moment, i know that, instead of sitting here behind my laptop, i should be at my workbench!
and since our course finished last wednesday, i will have time now to work out some new ideas (must admit tho, i will miss the ambiance of the classroom, even if it is only for a few months). still... YAY!
