When we went to the trade fair last year, I was gifted some acetate samples to use with my silversmithing. I've been looking at them for a while now wondering what to do. Suddenly, inspiration... driven by the fact that our lovely Belgian friend from Theo is visiting in a couple of weeks and I wanted to be able to gift him a thank you.
So here's the plan...
Muslin-rolled silver backing with acetate and silver layers riveted to back plate.
It hasn't been filed, polished or anything yet in these pics. Tackling the soldering at home today (first time at home!) I have my fire extinguisher and fire blanket ready just in case ;)
Here's hoping it all comes together well.

Just the fact that you NEED a fire extinguisher and fire blanket at the ready makes me come over all excited. Adrenaline Craft! Have FUN. (In a non-burny sort of fashion).
So very creative, you! I'm still loving the texture on that metal!
you are amazing Kylie, I know i say it often but I'll keep saying it because it's true. I love visiting your space and getting a glimpse in to that incredibly creative mind.
