A simple technique that you can create so much with.

Fusing Argentium 940 into stick shapes, adding dust texture and granules.

The pendant bail is created by tapering a wire end in the rolling mill; a skill that is most useful.

Adding a tube set stone is an option.

*** Bring your sterling or Argentium  dust so you don’t have to make any! ***

If you have dust premade you may be able to make 2 projects. If you have to make dust then time for only one.
