studio news - scrap necklace

silver recycling - this time I had fun creating a necklace !
pure silver....
Sticking most of the wires and loops into the melting silver nuggets, I used very little silver solder for this.
                            
It is a short collier around the neck....







                       

                           

...but  can be worn also as a long necklace, which is my favorite styling.




one of a kind - , sculptural and a little bit crazy, .....

Silver nuggets!

Thats next!
I heat the silver scrap in the mold with my brazing torch to the melting point.




The charcoal is saving the generated heat very well!

At this point it is possible to shape the little liquid pure silver ball for seconds.....

After solidification the structure of the charcoal is visible on the back.


Beautybath in alum, after soldering silver jump rings onto the nuggets.

....to be continued.....

My creative Space....

Silver recycling!
When I ´m crafting my silver caps, wires and closures some scrap piles up.

I will try to make some "Silver Nuggets" out of it!

This is a piece of charcoal I own for many years.....(what easily can be seen..)

I use carving tools to get a mold . Afterwards the silver scrap will be melted in it.

That´s all for now .....next time I will show the melting process ..

...and of course the finished products..( premised I was successful !)
