The Art of Keum Boo - Cup of Gold Pendant

1. The Art of Keum Boo - Cup of Gold Pendant: Hello, My name's John Tinley. I'm with your designer and shooter from the Southwest UK on Welcome to the Cup of Gold Pendant Class. This class is part of a Siri's covering a technique of combo, a technique that literally translates attached gold that uses beautiful luxury 24 karat gold foil on bonds. It if I secure permanent bond onto silver, my aim and the series of classes is to get you confident using the technique and also to show you other techniques that you can use alongside combo different ways, for example, for texture in the gold. In this class, I'm actually focusing on how to use the little bits of gold that get left over from other projects because as you cut into the gold foil cut out of flour, you are left with some of the gold that was around it. Likewise, when you're covering a whole piece of silver with gold, foil you to make sure foiled those so lightly off the inches silver to make sure that there are no gaps. The gold is then trimmed off. Those shapes, then can be used in other projects. So in this class, I'm going to show you how to line the inside of a simple cup dependent with the gold, and it actually gives it a really, really lovely, subtle texture. If you haven't done so already, then I do recommend that you go back and watch Golden Butterfly pendant cast as that will go through more detail. More technical information regarding things like various heat sources that you can use when you're carrying out combo. I'd also have to prepare Sterling Silver for this process because the gold will only bond to find silver. So you go back to that class. You'll see how to raise a find self surface on top of your stunning silver. If you already go, let's start by having a look at the equipment and materials that you're going to me to make dependent. 2. Cup of Gold Pendant - materials: In order to make this project, you're going to need some 24 karat gold foil. Suitable combo, some silver sheet. Andi, some silver wire on because thes gold foil I'm using is scrapped left over from other projects. Little bits of off cuts around, maybe shapes that I've cut out using a paper punch all off cuts that I've trimmed off the edge off a piece of silver that I've covered completely in gold because I'm using scrap gold. I thought this I would use of scrap silver as well. So the piece off silver that you can see here has already been heated up several times, which will make things a little bit quicker. As I'm preparing the silver, it's stunning. Silva is left over from another project, and it has already bean heated up, as I said to a Neil it to send it to the rolling mill to stretch it out to make it more suitable for us. Another project, This piece is about no 0.6 millimeters thick, which is the thinnest that I would use for this project. It is very thing for making a pendant from, but remember, this pendant is going toe have a domed shaped on that gives a lot of extra strength so you can get away with the using sheets that is a little bit thinner than you would normally use for a pendant. The thickest sheet that I would use for this is maybe no 0.8 snow 0.9, no 0.8 being about a 20 gauge, you could use thicker silver than that. But to be honest, you don't need to for the strength of the peace. So all you're doing if you're using much thicker sheet, is adding to the weight of the pendant and also adding to the cost of making it. But of course, a piece of why that you can see here is a piece of scrap left over another project as well . This is one millimeter diameter around studying silver wire. If you've only got no 10.8 millimeter than that would do just fine. This is going to be used for making the bail that's going to go on the back. Anything you can't see here is whatever you're going toe, hang a dependent from. I've left that up to you. Whether you're gonna hang it from a chain or length of leather or length of ribbon is completely up to you 3. Cup of Gold Pendant - equipment: just about being able to put or the handles and equipment that we're going to need for this project in view of the camera on, although it does look a lot on although some of the pieces of equipment are some of my more expensive ones. Remember that firstly, I do have the top of the range ones you can get. Psyche perversions. Andi. Every single piece of equipment here is used in multiple projects on many, many off my different video classes. It's not a case of you buy something. I only ever use it once. I only ever use it for one type technique. Even Why it will kill will be used for firing metal clay on for firing till pieces of anomaly. So let's start with that ultra light kill then that is Thebe Piece off equipments I'm going to use to heat the silver upsets at the right champ. Rich of a combo on, I'm going to use the gate burnish shirt on and the reverse section tweezers together with little pot of water on a coffee stirrer. Wouldn't coffee store to help me the combo process, the piece of silver that I'm going to be decorating with the gold starts out as a disc. So that's why my discussing is here. I'm going to be cutting out a 16 millimeter diameter disk on dime going to be then Domingo the disk. So, of course you can see the domain punches on dumbing book. I'm going to hit those tools with my old hammer. Don't want use a nice texture in hammer because hitting the steel tools marks the head of the Hamas have gotten old hammer reserve. Just that job, the steel bench block onder. The cushion are here because I'm going to be putting the work the hot pendant onto the steel blocked. How could cool down a little bit quicker when I take it off? The kill you don't have to put it are still block. There's no technical reason to get it to cool down quickly. It's just so I can get on to the next stage of the work. As long as you've got a heatproof surface to put it on a soldering block, for example, you'll be fine. The lovely clean silver rim around the edge of the pendant is formed by filing. I'm going to be using a six inch flat file for that. The sharp you spent abuse to Marco. I want the bail to be soldiered on. I'm going to be making the bail with a round nose pliers and wire cutters. Last but not least, is this, uh rather well. It was either warn piece of sanding hard. They find sanding pads, but despite the fact it's had a lot of use, it's still got a lot of life left in it. I'm going to use that. Help me give dependent. Unlovely satiny soft satin finish. This is a soldering project so that also have a look at the soldering equipment that we're going to need to make dependent. 4. Cup of Gold Pendant - soldering equipment: thing is the soldier equipment that I use for all of my small projects, such as earrings and sore pendants, everything sitting on a couple of slate tiles, a heatproof surface to help protect my desk on my work sits on a couple of soldering bricks or soldering blocks, while some heating it up. One of these soldering bricks is made of a softer material than the others. Because it's softer, it's picked up some dips and some cracks in it. It's being used over the years, and these could be very useful for supporting work that isn't completely flat. The charcoal block is there because I melt small piece of scrap on top of that on Do they form? Nice of my balls has, I mean used to decorate my projects when I need to pick up my work or to support it whilst I'm soldering? I used reverse action tweezers that you can see here, and I've also got a pair on a stand through 1/3 hand, and it's there when I need 12 on extra hands to help me out. The blue handled stick is a soldier pick on and that I used to push soldier move it about to make sure it it's exactly where I want it to be. Soldier usually comes in strips or sticks. Andi, I've got three different melting temperatures here that I using combination for different projects. The soldier gets cut into small pieces or Palin's you ting. The red handles snips as I keep those little pieces in the labeled boxes that you can see do. Make sure that you label your boxes because once a soldier is cut up, you won't be hard to tell which is which. Melting temperature. My curl over the ends off the sticks of solder start. I can't tell which melting temperature they are. The more cold over they are, they're higher. The mountain temperature, bright yellow liquid is a flux. Solder won't actually flow out through the joining unless you use of flux with it. Andi The paintbrushes. What? I used to apply the flux to the joints in my work, so he was also available in a paste form, its ground up soldier that's already mixed with a flux, so you don't need a separate flux. In fact, if you were toe adds the yellow Fluxus, I've shown you it would stop this solder paste from working properly. It's most commonly available in syringes with school tips that she can see here. You can also buy it in tubs and pots, just like with the traditional sticks or strips of soldier, so the pace is available in three different melting temperatures. Easy, medium and hard. I've just got easy and medium here. The easy is the one that's 268 degrees sent rate for amounting temperature. The medium is 732 3 centuries. As you can tell, the easy solder paste is a favorite newer in the medium soldier paste. When you have a new syringe, it's best to pull back on the plunger after you finished using it. Otherwise, the soldier pace going to continue to snake out of the tip a little bit, and you don't want to waste it because this is actually the most expensive way of buying soldier. I like to use the solder paste on projects like chains on door, so hollow beads sometimes might use it on sucking rings if I'm in a bit of a hurry because one of the advantages sort of place is that the soldier usually stays exactly where you want it to be. Unlike the sort of Italians that can jump off as you start to heat the metal up, small projects like hearings only need a small blowtorch, and I've got two different makes of those here. Both of them are easy to refill with the gas that comes in aerosol cans since the same type of gas butane gas that you use to refill cigarette lighter at the back of a picture, you can see a slow cooker that Scots a very mild acid solution, go to safety pickle in it. When you heat silver up, the surface becomes not darker and dirtier looking that some of the capo in the study silver reacting with the heat and auction flames before cause cop rock sites on the safety pickle cleans that copper oxides up. Before you put your work in the safety pickle, it needs to be cooled down or quenched in a pot of water. Andi, you need to put your work in and out of the safety pickle with brass or plastic tweezers, not the stainless steel ones that I showed you before and last, but definitely not least our house safety glasses. You've only got one pair of eyes look after 5. Cup of Gold Pendant - creating the cup: the first step in preparing the silver for my lovely. The cupped pendant with the gold lining inside the cup is to cut out the disk. Andi, then to dome it to form the cup, are very checked with my disk. Attar's on ditz, the 16 millimeter diameter punch eyes, the biggest punch that fits nicely on this piece of silver. That's why I'm going to use. There's nothing to stop you making a small dependence. Obviously, the small it becomes, the more Figley this job's going to be. Nothing to stop you either. Making a big dependent but remember big dependent is going to need more gold covering the surface. If, like me, you are covering the complete surface. So those are issues to bear in mind. So going to open up discussion for a bit? That's the whole for the 16. So just looking directly down was that was 19. Nearly. That would be the same mistake. I think it wasn't going to fit on. There we go. So some doing just making sure that the edges were out of you nicely before I closed that down completely, actually, just going to put the shim on the other side. It's levels out this. Discuss Attar to make sure it's not quite surgeon. Supposed with thick. So with the thinnest sheet like this beautiful, much thicker sheet and I'll see you want is your It's walking over to one side wouldn't sit nicely, so that's in there. Just putting a little bit of the lubricant going. Punch that Sent Home It expects a very technical job. A city with a hammer we've got. But this the first stage of making the Don't shape the next stage. My move. These are so good. Be the hammer. Not when he's discussing now going to use the damning punch so don't block on and punches. I use a metal punch because there's no texture on here is going to be the gold is actually gives dependent of a hint of a texture. So I think you some four punches because there's no texture for them to accidentally sues out. So first you need to do is find a dish that this this is starting now, although it's just a quick reminder. If it's been a while since you two doing block, Um, although it fits in that dish nicely, I don't want to start off in there. It's the dish. The disk is sitting quite proud of the bottom of the dish, and it would mean that I'd be moving the silver quite away. Relatives aside the disc too quickly, and that's not going to give me the neatest shape. It is far better to start off in a bigger dish, maybe with a dick, bigger punch, and then work your way to a small one. So what I'm going to do for me this is the closest to the top is, uh, in view of the camera, just going to hold that nice essential. We got my hammer again, going to Well, folks, it had moved for bit. You see, that's just owned already. Going to then swap, too. It's not useful over one. Hope it in there and again make sure sitting centrally of the punches verticals I can't can nicely. Don't I think I'm actually going to leave it like that is very pleasing shape to it. I could take it further if I wanted to, but I like it like that. So that is the first stage in preparing the dish. The the disc additional don't disc quite have got to say that going between dish on disk, but that's the first state. What I want to do now is file a nice, clean rim that's going to frame the Gold Center beautifully. That's a bit of a show you next. 6. Cup of Gold Pendant - filing 1: e. I like to file a nice flat rim around the edge of my disk. I find it frames that go, that's inside really, really nicely. But it also does look just as lovely without it as well. So this stage of the project is actually optional. If you want to give your pendant a nice, clean, crisp frame around the outside for this next section, if you don't, then you can no. Well, maybe watch the high speed forget at the gist of it, the idea of what to do on, then continue on to the next section. So what? My six inch flat file aunt that need a little bit clean will be a job for for maybe later on this week on bond. I put it flat on my work, but it's about the handle. Just hanging off the side of the desk here so you can sit flat on we're going to do is bring the disc towards the handle. Now, you see that I had a little bit trouble getting it started because the first time you do a file stretch, bring it down. You've got a very sharp, crisp edge. You got to the edge is that with all the disc curved up puts on DSI, you've got quite a sharp angle that you want to file off that can catch on the foul really easily. But once you've done that first initial file, see how quickly some sounds. So remember that thing silver has to move towards the handle. It doesn't matter whether you move files or whether you move silver, but in relation to each other. Silver has to move towards the handles in order for the filings were actually working, not just get a noise on. You noticed that so few toes. So every few strokes sound file. I am turning dish, and that is to help me get the most even phrase around because we've all got a tendency to put a bit more pressure may be on this side and here. Or maybe lean off in gripped that sire on there. So you just get filing with dish orientated around the same way each time. Thank you. Wouldn't have a nice, crisp, clear, even phrase. So you see how that is catching in the right. What is catching in the light? Is the frame Yes. I just filed around my son, shiny and bright. I'm not going, Teoh, take any more than that. We're gonna leave it that amount on that that's going to frame the going beautifully. A good contrast city a fresh, clean silver on the luxury richness of that 24 karat gold. So my next job is to prepare that silver dish to actually put the golden. 7. Cup of Gold Pendant - preparing the silver: because I'm using Sterling Silver. Rather find silver for this project. Andi, because the 24 karat gold needs to bond to find silver or not sterling silver. I need prepare this sterling silver to give it a surface of just fine silver. Well, I'm not going to go into great depths about that here because you couldn't go back and watch the very first combo projected five video for you, but something to give you a quick reminder here. That's essentially what we're going to be doing is heating up the silver and use. This will blow torch here and heat up the silver, quench it and pickle it while I heat it up Some of the copper that is at the surface because this is sterling silver and it's got 7.5% copper in it. Some of that copper is going to turn into copper oxides. When I pushed in the pickle, the pickle is going to remove those copper oxides on the copper with it. That's going to mean that next time I heat it up, there's going to be less oxygen ization because there was less of copper present, so they keep going through that cycle of heating quenching, populating the pickle, giving so rinks when it comes out and drying it and going to that all again until the surface off the silver remains a nice paper white finish even after I just take the frame off. No offices ation a tall. So this Peter Silver, remember, I said, has already being used. Um, in part. It's being heated up, Andi wrote to the Rolling mill. So it's not going to have its full complement of copper up surface. They're not going to be a massive amount of oxygen ization, but there still is going to be some to see. Basically, this has started through its process of depletion gilding, which is the name of the technique we're going to be doing. It's already started through the process gives us Bolivar head start. But the reason I put a Sharpie mark there is that that is giving me a guide to remind me not to overheat the silver. When that markers burnt away, that is going to be the time to stop to it burns where there's just a hint of it left, even if there's a hint of it left that isn't going to inhibit the process of the combos. You don't worry about that, but it's a beating aware cross now for this. Forget it's pretty clear, which is stated that the gold is going to go on to. So I'm not going to other do with other projects, sometimes flip it over and do the other side. But something I do want to point out to you is, Can you see? The rim that I filed is much, much darker, then the central section off this cut disk. The reason it is that I had filed that rim has gone back to proper sterling silver with a higher copper content found the middle, so I'm going to quench that. Pop it in the pickle. Does it clean up on? Then I'm going to show it to you, heats up again when it is ready, so that you can see the difference this little silver dish has. Now Bean will probably including the the least twice that it was heated up before we actually started working with us on this project. It's being heated, quenched, pickled, rinsed, dried over that process about nine or 10 times now. Andi, on its last heating. There was no hint of oxen. Ization left it all. So I just want to show that to you on what you should look help for is the fact that there was no color change in the surface of the silver, either in the middle or on the rim. When I take the heat away, there's no oxygen ization formed. Moving about a bit of a flame blows on it a little bit of red color but no ox ization, so that is now ready for the goal to be applied. I'm not going to quench it and pickle it. Now. What I'm going to do is just leave it toe air. Cool, Andi, because it's now nice and clean. It's being heated up. Any dirt residue that might have been left on there has been burned talks. That's really nice and clean now. So when it's cooled down, the only place that I'm gonna handle issues of the H is my handle it with tweezers to keep anything greasy dirt off the surface because that if it was there, he could inhibit the binding off the gold. We don't want that. So I'm going to pluck kill men that it heat up and start applying the gold 8. Cup of Gold Pendant - applying the gold: Ah, in a moment I'm going to bring a camera in closer so you can get a better view off. How? Implying the gold into the center of this cup dependent. But I just want to show you a bigger picture for the moment to remind you off the pieces of equipment that I'm using in this section off the class. Obviously, I thought my ultra light to kill on. I've got to my cupped, he says. Silver sitting on there already. Andi, I moved us about what it might be, too. Yes, you could see the red go there, but you can also see me. I hope so. I moved that that this isn't the flapped sheet. It's the one that's got to dip in the middle of the advantages off the ultralight, killing it. It does come, but one who by the two plate one that doesn't have to dip in the middle, and the advantage of that is it helps to throw the heat, um, up around a piece that isn't completely flat. So that's why I'm using this one. What's that got? You can see a pair over section tweezers, Certs. I can handle everything safely um my I get to burnish Chateau Help me apply the golden bone . Ships of the bonding contain place nicely. What part of water? Because I use that to help me pick gold up Good foil up on the end of the I get burnish. Er I've got coffee stir which shall use now to show you just thank I hold a piece of silver . Still, they go so I can put the coffee seller on the edge. So any soup goes on the edge where the gold isn't rather than in the middle, but it's charred. Align the edge of the cup charter line onto their on. That shows me that everything is now at the right temperature. You see anything that wouldn't stick will do nicely so and they were wooden cocktail stick , a toothpick, anything like that. I've got the little pieces of gold foil on top off Still block on. When the I put all the gold in the middle there, Reg transfer dependent on to steal block so that it caused down quite quickly. Cause of steel would draw the heat away. Remember, that isn't absolutely necessary. There was no technical reason for getting everything cooled down quickly. I just like to do it so I can get on to the next stage of making a pendant quite quickly so you could leave it on any heatproof surface. But don't leave it on top with killed because the gold was still continued bonding more and more and more past the point that it really needs to just start to lose that beautiful brightness. So do take the pendant off to take any work off the kill when it is definitely done, don't leave it on that too long are these pieces of gold foil. If I said stars across their leftover from other projects, some bigger than others, quite a few of them have been where I've trimmed off the gold off the edge off other piece of work since I've bean doing different sizes. Different shapes, cert, I can put them together is a bit of a overlapping jigsaw in the centre off the cup to cover a lot of that middle piece. Right when I moved the camera a bit closer, see and get a better view of what I'm doing right? Just dipping the live eight burnish up and the port which is just the tip of it into a part . I would like to start off with larger pieces and then use the soldier ones to fill in the gap. That sizzle is that little bit of water drying off. Just start shit in the middle and then stroke upwards onto the center. Starch. Burnish Penis. Now, if when you put in the knowledge of pieces for this project, if a piece of foil start to cull over and overlap a little bit, then that's not the end of the world, because that will still be adding to the texture. Such a move because we create it was a piece of gold overlap. So just finishing the process fault sometimes is actually getting the cup to six. Still getting a curved surface to sit still when it is like a lot of her surface, I'm paying extra careful attention to that rim. Should we have to see where that's coming from? It brighter, and I can see a nice, clear lying impression where the room is. She was for sure. My rent, Andi. So I'm going to do know is instead of leaving that bit of gold there to trim off later. So much you're going to do. It's just you see, I get Manisha separate data. Make sure she's ring. I sleep wanted up until up to the room, some chipping it over and then burnishing those pieces down. The gold will furnish on top of the gold. It will boned nicely. So just here's a nice clean finish, and also the pieces of gold is of ticked over. Being boat on top, they add to the texture as well. So get another piece. You got any pieces like this that are the remains off where the shape was being cut out, using the paper punches. Then that can match nicely to the Czechs. Chills moving up. So it's very subtle texture, which is still there and eventually edges before labor carry on. - You can see him starting to use smaller pieces. Now, filling the gaps find more, more. You do this kind of thing applying the gold When the silver is on top of Kim, the easier you find it. This is actually a really, really good project to help you do that to help you get your confidence placing the gold on the piece of silver because with this project. If the goal does sip a little bit, doesn't end up exactly where he wanted it to be. It is not the end of the world me that just moving is felt in light to see if there are and you got this is a trying for better yet there it's a very small piece. Don't worry. By the way, if this has just happened as you're tipping a piece of the the excess gold over, if it refuses to go over or starts to stick me that on the rim that you filed, or maybe even on the outside as well, cause I will show you how to deal with that. I'm one last little bit just there, right in the middle, said again. So there we go. I'm going to take that off. The kill says. I've turn the camera off. Put it on the still rock to cool down on that. I'm going to show you, as I said, how tidy up the rim to remove anything, bits of gold that did sit on to the edge 9. Cup of Gold Pendant - filing 2: Theo Cup has codependent, has cooled down. Now sits safe to handle on a gorgeous, gorgeous, rich gold in the center there. But we have lost a little bit of the clean rim, the frame going around there. But that's going to be easy to sort out what I'm going to do. Some filing against. I did fours with repetition of thats I've got the file flat system on my bench. Paige Onda, who had just look pretty, putting a great deal of pressure to starting my finger. Hold it in place. I'm putting it down and you can see that's silver starts to come back again a little bit more just there, and they're to do. And justice I do. When I'm frying the room in the first place, I'm turning independent round a little bit. Every now and again, you might be asking yourself why, If you're fine, Corbett Now, did you file a tour start? Why don't you do it all at the same time? Well, I've tried it both ways. Andi. I find having that filed rim there to start with Oh, means that I get a clean of Finnish. I've got something to, um burnish round to make sure that it's really nicely burnished out the room to make sure that that that silver is nice and secure so that that's all that's needed. That nice, bright room of silver is back, so the next thing that I want to do is two groups. It's a soldier, a bail onto the back. 10. Cup of Gold Pendant - soldering the bails: the pendant is now sitting upside down on the soldering brick waiting for its pale Andi, I've marked with the shop you won't be able to go, but before I could solder the veil in place, I actually need to make it so smooth that out the way for the moment has got the one millimeter stunning serve around. Why that I showed you that starts the cross, Have Granny's place going to hold the wire. What, halfway down ish replies on really further. You go towards the handle, the bigger the shape bigger, the curve you're going to create because the tapering in the know the notes of the applies fingering some, my 1st 1 working somewhat control of that. Why I'm going to do is twist supplies around until more think, until there is my curve. My brother is a bit more, I think all right, and then use Why are cusses to trim? So that is my bail simple is that I'm not going to worry about filing the ends there because such small pieces not going to have a dramatic difference as move those little bits after way again on bring Dependent on him. My jacket with, You can tell. But just here and here this Ah, piece of easy soldier. Easy sort of Palley in one for each end of the bail on no holding the bail. Inverse action. Tweeze is on bond. You see this? It looks going to did that in the flux is the easiest way of getting the flux where I want it to be. And what I'm going to do now is melt that soldier onto one two ends. The bail on that will get silver exactly where I want. It says I can then re melt it when I hold the veil in place. Remember that it is the heat of the piece that's required here. Not just putting these on the behind it. It's not just the heat, all the silver. So some having to take the whole piece. Good. So see now I moved about the light. The ends of that bail are more rounded out now. So your practice Where so your site a lying everything up first? I don't need any more Fluxus flux on this part. So flux already with that? The solder. I don't need flux on that part as well. There's enough there The reason I got to check, we want it. And then I'm just tipping my hand out the way we're not taking it away completely. Just tipping it out. The way says I could apply some heat into the biggest bit of the, uh, the projects expected silver and then bring that back down again. It prevents me from having to hold that bale still for quite so long. And it's horse, so reduces the chance of that much smaller piece of metal melting. I just remind you, don't worry about that shop. You Mark give it to you for a soldier to see its gold Already following his job, reddish change tells me that things are about ready so I could bring the bail fat. There we go. Beautiful flow, solder turn short shelf. Just making certain holding everything. Still, until the soldier goes, Don't tell me a soulmate, but well, that was a little bit like surface. The moon. I don't know. You can see that with all those bubbles center on the surface. Those are the tool apples that have bean, um, increase in size as the air that was underneath because there's always a quite often a few places where you think you've finished down beautifully, but you haven't quite. And then when you heat the piece up again to solder the air that underneath the places where it wasn't quite most down beautifully, um expands and so pushes the gold out more all we need to do it's not something it What about we need to do is go back with your racket. Botia, There you see on half it, the problem is gone. Now you need to do this before you quench, because if you try and do it afterwards, the gold will no longer be valuable. And there'll be no residual heat in the piece. That will help you to critics of on down beautifully. But if you do, forget on, did you quench because for many of you expects is an automatic thing. Now you finish the soldering, everything's going well, the quench. So if you do forget, then just print. I can't talk it. Drawing a town and then heat up gently were not enough to get maintenance the soldier to flow out again. But just until you see the bubbles appearing and then this is well able was appearing and then burnish it down again, and you'll be fine now. I'm just paint extra special attention here for attention to that edge there, because something is just off. Always. The week went on its west saying as well that you are more likely to get more air bubbles appearing on a piece like this, where you used lots of Peter's scrap and they are overlapping each other a little bit traps . You have a little bit more. It traps the air there a little bit more. But one of the reasons I like to do soldering after the combo process is done, is it? It acts as a bit of a quality control. I know now I've been over this ignorant, burnished it down again. It's really nicely securely burnished on bonded in place. The other reason is that you can see the bail means that it doesn't. The printed doesn't sit quite so nicely down. It would move around a lot more, be more difficult to put the girl. The will be more difficult to keep the golden place. So I no need to. Quinn shit popped in the pickle to clean topless pics. Remember that this bitch the surface of the main, But dependent might be fine silver, but this bitch study silver to clean it up. And there will be time to show you how to get dependent on much myself. Finish. 11. Cup of Gold Pendant - finishing the pendant: Theo clean the little bit of oxidation there.

You see that a lot clearer when I show you a close up photo in a moment. Um, and I think a match finish rather shiny. One really shows up the contrast between the two colors Beautifully. So all that remains is to for a change through that bail. And then we've got another lovely stony silver in 24 karat gold pendant 12. Cup of Gold Pendant - final thoughts: the finished pendant is really lovely, with a subtle texture in the middle produced by those overlapping pieces of gold and overlapping those pieces of gold is a really, really good way of getting your hands steadier at applying the gold to silver, building up confidence of where you're applying the gold onto the top of a hot kill.

Have a look at some of these. You could add ear wise onto back off smaller discs to make a pair drop hearings. What studs to make up our stud earrings. This design also worked really well for making cufflinks, but if you do choose to make cufflinks, then I suggest you go with a thicker piece of sheet.
