chainmaille project:
- this project is nearly complete. the clasp is finished, and sitting in a patina solution to blacken. I'm noticing all the spots that I didn't clean up solder slop enough, but I think that's a minor issue that I honestly don't plan to address. At least not now, should I get this project photographed and whatnot, then Yes!
- have to attach the clasp, finish adding length to the chainmaille, and then minor bits here and there to make sure it's all neat and ready for CEP.
broach:
- More or less finally got a design I like about this one. In full, it'll be three parts, almost like a triptic broach, but for the project I will be completing the center broach. It'll be a Cyanotype picture placed within a silver broach that will be held in place with a pin driven through the image of the person. Since I'll be forging a spoon, think I'll drawl out the pin for this piece.
- Still have quite a bit to go. Finishing the broach itself, the pin and then the image.
Spoon:
- Design idea here is a bit fun. Haven't poured the ingot yet, so this is all very fresh itself. It's going to be a lovely weekend!
- Pour ingot, ready the ingot for forging, forge it, design. Yep. All this can happen simultaneously.
