Playing with metal... and a foray into folksy .

Well now for something different and please bear with me as I am new to this and these are my very first attempts at metal stamping! I have recently taken a  great on line course by Christy Tomlinson.. called belt bracelet workshop...which can be found here. I have spent a small fortune kitting myself out and already am hooked.... I am hoping to get busy creating these for my upcoming craft fairs and also for my shop on Folksy here
so be gentle these are my first ones ....
This one was for me....


and then these 3 for my children who seem very impressed!




they chose the colour and size and seem happy ...
So hope you like them and I may be back soon , hopefully with some better examples as I learn more and develop my skills...my head is full of ideas...its just time I don't have ! Feel free to favourite me on folksy but no pressure..only if you like what you see .... :)

  11. Loving this new angle to your crafting prowess Trace. I bet those wrist cuffs cheered the kids up no end! Mind you, have you considered the idea of microchipping them to keep a track of them?!! lol Now you need to make one for yourself. Have a great Sunday. Jenny x

  15. These are great Trace I especially like the one you did for yourself. What a fantastic gift they would make, I bet the children loved choosing their own colours and designs. I am sure they will be a big hit at the craft fairs. Mo x

  16. They're wonderful! Very tempted by lots of the metalwork and jewellery courses out there - but like you say, too easy to spend (another) fortune on new materials... Can't wait to see what you create next.
