Vibrance. Sometimes you need to take a moment and really appreciate the beauty of the things you make. I came across this photo and had to stop and take it in. I love to weave 💕 Cheers to all the makers and craftspeople out there.

Fire 🔥🔥 When working on a piece it is always important to anneal (soften) the metal. If you try to do too much forming of the metal without annealing it, it could damage your piece. It also makes it easier to work with, as the heating of the metal softens it, making it more malleable.

The rings are starting to look more like rings! They have a little bit more of their form and needed to be separated, since the two rings have different widths. Now to get that classic half-round shape. Interested in some FairTrade custom wedding bands?

The beginning of things taking shape. The lovely piece of FairTrade gold now needs to go through the rolling mill a few times to get closer to the final shape needed for the rings.
