It's mid-afternoon and the entire house is reverberating with banging, deafening noises that keeps getting louder by the minute. "She's at it again!". My daughter announced. Screaming like a banshee so she can be heard amidst the racket.
Oddly, I found that I LOVE the design hammering creates. More so, when oxidized, enhancing the design. So I hammer! Though my husband concluded that, this, is my ultimate outlet for stress. He can just be right!
As of late, the Creative Chocolate dominates. Whoever said "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" was a pessimist. I'm neither old nor young, but I find that there's always room to grow and learn. It's a mindset. So I learn.
Things you can create with Silver and Hammer

b) NileCorp - Got the cheapest priced tools with online discounts.c) Widget Supply - offers best variety for rouge polishing bars and more.
d) Artbeads - Free Shipping in the US. Great for bulk needs though limited collections.e) Firegemmountain - Also great for bulk needs. Wide variety but a little on the expensive side.

Let me know if you have any questions. Now on with the Torch! - Nooo, I'm not going to torch the house!
Happy Creating! {don't forget the earplugs and safety glasses}
Note: Ear wires and Clasps used are also handmade. Oxidizing agents used on all the jewelries is an Eco-Friendly solution {not sharpie markers} that's good for the plants. Jewelries are created in a smoke-free environment. My pledge for a safer environment and safer you.
I love your jewelry. Amazing work with the silversmithing. I think it's important to grow as an artist. Beautiful jewelry, YOU ROCK.
