#workinprogress Lunar Cuffs ready to open. Then I will add some more texture before shaping and finishing. These will definitely be ready for the weekend @escartists #popupshop 😀 #foldforming #airchasing #foldformingcopper #foldformed #metalworktechniques #metalwork #imakecopperthings #coppersmith #metalsmith #makingacuff #coppercuffs #copperjewellery #unisex #madeinstamford #madeinlincolnshire #madetoorder #shopstamford https://www.instagram.com/p/CRwc9kOsDC1/?utm_medium=tumblr
On your desk... You really don't want to know what's on my desk ( Chaos!) so we will talk about what's on my workbench instead. - Three Lunar Copper Cuffs - the blanks have been folded ready to start #airchasing for a few weeks, but I had bespoke orders to complete so these were put aside. There is no excuse to ignore this project any more. I have no Lunar cuffs in stock! - A bowl I have been working on off and on for a few weeks. - Some enamelled pieces to be made into necklaces and pendants - And of course Miss Manali, my studio buddy, who seems to think I am in constant need of her help 😆 Prompt 4 of #MarchMeetTheMaker by @joannehawker #MarchMeetTheMaker2021 #onyourdesk #ontheworkbench #workinprogress #wip #coppersmith #metalsmith #imakecopperthings #copper #shaliniaustin #jewellerybyshalini #enamelling #copperbowl #coppercuff #studiobuddy #Manali #DogsofInstagram #stamforduk #Stamford #CreativeSK https://www.instagram.com/p/CMADMHGLTTf/?igshid=1v1pz5qrjjxuc

#workinprogress Love #salvagedcopper 😊 The number from the copper tank is visible on this piece at the moment. Once I finish #airchasing and hammering I am not sure how much will remain. There is still a lot of work to do on this LUNAR Cuff. #lovewhatido #womenincraft #coppersmith (at Stamford, Lincolnshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwNY4VCBjHv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13dlwijsebw7f
Work in progress, just needs liver of sulphur to make it look more interesting. I am really happy with this piece 😊 . . #workinprogress #coppersmith #enamelling #airchasing #lovewhatido https://www.instagram.com/p/BnKFA5EgTD1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wgh2sthrzuqc
#workinprogress Another round of hammering... another round of annealing... few more sessions before these pipes are ready to be shaped into air-chased cuffs. But I am happy with the progress 😊 Had to stop for a few days because my finger was a bit painful (no idea why!) If you want an idea of what these copper pipe cuffs look like have a look on my website for 'Fantasy' cuffs. #airchasing #copper #copperart #coppersmith #metalsmith #womenincraft #lovewhatido
After the first round of hammering and air-chasing it is time to anneal before I hammer some (a lot actually!) more. This will happen several times as I beat the copper pipe more to achieve the final texture. I won't bore you with lots of videos 😀 I will just take photos each time I anneal. You will see the textures evolving each time. #coppersmith #womenincraft #airchasing #copperpipe #makingacuff #funwithcopper
