lots of in-progress
So I have a bunch of in-progress pictures to show you guys. First, I’ve started cutting out the tiger brooch, which is going be super complicated and may take me a while - I want more practice with the other pieces before I do more on this one, I think. I got the major pieces cut out, tho:
Today I finally got some pieces soldered together. Here’s what they look like after they’re soldered. The backs get rather messy when there are lots of little pieces. First, my mom’s brooch:
And two of the Greek pendants:
Next step is the biggest pain of all. Filing all of it flush!! You always have just a couple of places that don’t want to cooperate and make it take an eternity, hah! But I’ve figured out a few ways to make it go faster in my past attempts :-) Stay tuned to see them cleaned up! It may be a bit, tho, because we’re going out of town this weekend. Everyone in the US have a great Labor Day weekend!!!
