Yeeee I’m currently learning to set stones and it’s hard, I guess it takes a bit to get the hold of it but uff.. and well here are my first 2 attempts:
I might be crossed eyed pretty soon , but happy, and well eventually in some time I’ll have to learn this..
Well I was making a ring the other day, but during class it was a request from someone and honestly well I’ve been at this for 5 months I’m not a jeweler yet and some things leave me clueless..
I had a request for a ring and I took the request to my teacher to see how it could be done, and I started and spent hours and hours trying to get through it and then my teacher told me about why we have to have our place.
So this is the situation if someone asks me for a piece and if it’s so time consuming that I’ll leave personal projects behind, then is just not a good idea.
I told that person that I was not going to able to make the ring for her yet, and there was no problem, and then I made me this..
If you make piece and that person wants one with a variation, wants the piece, wants one like it.. it’s good. But if someone tells me what to do how to do it.. then where do I put my personality on it ? Where is my touch? That thing that says I made it. These includes replicas, some people even get pictures of others people’s designs and say : “ I want this”
This is a ring I’m wearing daily with my version of a lotus flower, the ring is to remind me to work on my ideas and to try to keep it an art, personal, even if I make less money.
I’m happy to clear my brain..
I’m sure they can’t flight up to the moon, but what if one tried.
This pendant is just a though I had from a conversation when this question popped out, and at night I went home and I just had tiny bit of silver and I made this pendant.
It’s very little a bit more than half an inch, the sky is oxidized , something about oxidizing pieces I like the shadows and things that can be done with it..
I got my order the other day, I have 150 grams of silver to play with not much but enough and get some Ideas I have made.I’ll do more with this theme I’m thinking a ring I like the result.
A while ago I mentioned I got a new job for the weekend.. www.spanishpod101.com.. It’s pretty funny.. I do the Costarican series..
So pretty much we teach people the slang from Costa Rica.. and talk about the country things that are common on the streets so on..
The series are a fun project , and I never realized until I heard myself in the studio that I sometimes have the voice of a 12 yr old..and I go from serious to making hundreds of noises like weee..yay..wooo..bla bla.. I sound bipolar..but still obviously its all good quality recordings I’m just the weird one :P..
I’m very happy with this…
It’s very hard to work 6 days a week but it’s paying off. I got a new torch for the workshop and 2 sets of files..the torch is similar to this one.. just used with regular gas.. I wanted an Acetylene one but I would have to get it overseas. 
IN THE FUTURE I WILL! …
I needed been working on new designs.. but well you already know the camera story..so I can’t show anything..
I’ll see if I can buy this one this week..
The reviews I’ve read are fine and well I like the touch screen factor of it..
Since I’m all damn busy the whole time I barely have time to go out or read which is annoying and got nothing substantial to write about.
So I just leave you with an elephant having a splash 
Once upon a time.. a 5 and a half year old called Genesis (my littl sister) wanted to be a princess for xmas..
But her mom is just a dull person and told her she wouldn’t buy her a princess dress coz she was too old for that and it was ridiculous..So i told her mom that , that’s the age we have the right to wear a princess dress or skirt anything we want.!
When she told me about it I made it my goal to make one even tho I’ve used my sewing machine just for random projects.. and this is the result:
It has sequins all over..
She loved it!
as an extra I gave her all the accessories..
the crown..
the bag..
The jewellery..
And her mom couldn’t say anything because I’m her big sister and I have the right to give her whatever she wants, to support her in whatever she needs and to spoil her…. 
I got told “heart and pink”… this is the result..
Today I got told she loved it, I’m not working much in this kind of jewellery this days because I’m focusing on going back to knitting and working with silver.. still one can always help a friend 
So sorry for not updating on this all of a sudden I said man I’m meant to take pictures of the process.. but I either work on it or take pictures I’ll do my best for the next one..
I added the handles as you can see here…
and the chain It took so so long you wouldn’t believe I had to make a small circle the chains would rest inside then I had to solder a tiny loop on the end of each chain then , pass a silver wire with all the chains inside it and solder from outside.. I don’t have a clue if I’m making sense.. Here you can sort of see the chain detail..the idea is for the chains to have movement…It looks so pretty when you walk..
I Oxidized part-of the pot trying to give it a shadow , my teacher told me to use a scotch Britte to do this.. and well It was really simple and I honestly love the dark areas makes the piece somehow more interesting.. looking older..more elegant who knows well here it is..
Size Reference..
And this is how it looks on!
I’m very very happy with the result and I learnt so much with this piece It’s amazing , and I made it way faster than the first one and all techniques keep getting easier..
Thank you for reading this It means a lot to me for people to see what I dream to do for a living..
