My first spinner ring


My first spinner ring
Originally uploaded by aurorabeadz
Having nearly got a spinner ring just before Christmas and then deciding I could make my own I have finally got round to giving it a go! This is my first attempt and there is a bit of a problem with the soldering (which split slightly when I flared the edges out) but overall I am quite pleased! It turned out to be the size I wanted it to be which is good and I am pleased with the hammered look! Gonna play with this design I think

Another necklace to share with you guys! This is my focal bead and one of my hammered silver rings with a gorgeous ribbon by Diane at Sowzere.

The jewellery party went well sold a few bits and will hopefully get a couple of orders for fingerprint jewellery. And on that note today is the final day for orders for fingerprint jewellery at Savannah's school fair. I have 2 orders for the day so far and 2 orders at different times from the advert so not a bad response at all I think. I did have hopes of being absolutely flooded with requests but in hindsight that was a little naive. It is all about advertising and I did make a huge faux pas with the order form and information. I completely forgot to add my website address doh!!! Will take loads of business cards and leaflets to the fair with me to make up for that and there will be plenty of time for orders to be completed before Christmas.

Right best be off, Savannah is home cos she was ill last night so my shedio day has disappeared but I am finally going to get the stamps made for my art clay pendants! Photos later xx

I have been soldering!!!

and made these...

The 2 top ones are fresh from the safety pickle. The bottom left is ready to hammer I have filed it down to remove where the solder join is and the bottom right is hammered!!!

What have I used my first ever soldered ring for?

Here you go...what do you think!

Personally I love it and I think a necklace of this ilk shall be the prize for my August prize draw. All you have to do is become a fan of Aurorabeadz on Facebook and on the evening of 31st August I will use a random number selector to pick a winner. You wil have a choice of pink blue or green as the theme for your prize! You can find a link to my fan page on facebook to the right of my blog page!
