POUND IT OUT!

 

Okay so this requires a lot of pounding front and back - when you texture w the stamps it actually pushes and moves the metal which in turn makes it curve. To counteract the the curve you need to flatten out with a leather mallet to not mare the metal. Enjoy!

Hearts of Gold - in a linear way

I discerned the use of  warm golden brass as one of the metals. This family truly has a heart of gold! I also wanted to stamp messages in the metal. I have heart symbols, crosses and words representing the family. This whole process was very therapetic for me since I also was deeply affected by the loss of my friend and I felt the pain for the family members.

OK let's get the process moving!!!!

I first figured the shape and design of the metal; figuring which type of metal combinations. I knew I wanted pictures to reflect the family lost but more importantly the love they all shared. Each part of the bracelet has a significant meaning. Nothing arbitary - all thought driven. Enjoy!

I AM BACK! finally right?

Ok first and foremost I need to apologize - I thought my media posting was going to my blog sight - sigh- to my dismay it was not. So honestly I did a lot of posting last year but only to find it did not go to you... now my only hope is that I will get a returned following... understandable for the vacant crowd! Check out Agape Gifts facebook page to see all the exciting creations from last year...

I am beginning my sharing w a gift I created this summer for a dear family who unexpectedly passed away.

Start with an idea, which requires measuring, calculating and the computer!

OOOPPPSSS

We thought that we were posting to the blog daily but unfortunately it was channeling to the blog... so sorry. We will try this again!! Enjoy!!

How do you do that?

All this is used to make beauty happy in the metal, wire, stone, crystal and more in the art work!! Enjoy!! www.AgapeGifts.org
