Today I made this copper bracelet in metal-smithing - not too difficult, but I learned several new techniques, including annealing - heating the metal to make it softer for shaping. I get to work with fire! :) I've also learned how to sweat solder (using the blowtorch to attach one piece of metal on top of another) and make small balls at the end of metal wire for headpins & decoration...Tiffany, watch out :)

Nice work Jen, can't wait to see more.
Wowie, Jen. Love it. Your hair looks great too, girl!!!
Ok, Jen, I'm starting to get jealous. One of my resolutions is to be more creative...I went over to Don and Debbie's on the 28th and she taught me how to make a glass bead. But I would love having that stuff around me daily! How did you get the curves in that bracelet to be so smooth and perfect? You are going to grow in leaps and bounds!!
