Formed Copper & Sterling Silver Set
« on: September 24, 2009, 09:24:17 AM »

This are my newest creations.  I've incorporated the metalsmithing techniques I'm learning with chainmaille & beaded techniques.  The necklace is 17 1/4" long.  The chainmaille is Half Persian 18G 5.5mm ID.  Clasp is handmade.

Well, doesn't look as though images are cooperating today.  Any suggestions as to what I can do?

Are you using a photo sharing site or uploading directly to this website?  I would suggest using a photo sharing website such as flickr or photobucket (both are free to use) and then copying the image links from there.  Members seem to be having a lot of issues with uploading directly to the Handmade Artists Forum.

Well, if all else fails, there's always Flickr!  Hopefully everyone can get to the shots!

Thank-you!  I'll say, if they were as hard to design and create as they were to post, I might not have made them!

These are drop dead gorgeous. Hmmm....I don't have a problem one with directly uploading.

Beautiful! I love the texture. Did you use a planishing hammer?
Yes... great way to get out aggression!

Thanks Andrew!  Never did figure out what the issue was/is!
