The delica ring was a spotlight on another artist, I am no good with delicas! I would suggest doing a search on a site like etsy.com to see if you can buy a how-to tutorial on how to do it. Good luck!
Any bookmarks that I have would be found here: http://heavenlyflower.com/47-bookmarks. I usually don’t take custom requests for bookmarks they are just a left over material project, but would entertain requests if large enough/interesting enough. :)
Hi !
I am looking for places here in MOntreal who sell sheet of copper ,s.s ,brass Etc…. I order from the USA but shipping is expensive .
Do you know by any chance where .
Thank you
Elaine
Hi Elaine,
It’s hard to get in Canada huh? No luck on copper but I buy my engraving brass from Engraver’s Express in VSL – and in the past have bought SS from Imperial Smelting in Toronto…never bought sheet from them just ss wire but I am sure they have sheet as well. Otherwise, from my experience you are correct, the US is the only place to buy it. If you find of anywhere in Canada I’d love to know! What are you making? Do share! :)
Best,
Leilani :)
Thank you Leilani :O)
I love making jewelry ,but after few try to make craft show here in Quebec ( I am from Vancouver) I want to try something different with my Gems ,because they say it is “strung ‘and it,s not!!!!
So ,I want to learn more about working with metal,I order a lots from the U.S yesterday and I am waiting tosee what I can do …
I want to learn repousse and chasing too,but here thya don,t give night classes like in Van.
Will let you know ,If I find places to buy here.
Thanks again
Elaine
I’m from Nova Scotia originally so I just stick to selling online – I am afraid my French is terrible/ :( All that I know is self-taught – I’d love to do some metal smithing too but never had the time thus far to really learn. Just hammer/play around sometimes. :) Try You Tube for how-to videos. Keep in touch – I’d love to see your work now/what you come up with – do you have a blog or photo site?
I bought some books to learn that way ,now I am waiting for my new tools and sheets of metal…Will see .
For now,I do easy and fun stuff.
My blog is http://zoomgraphik.blogspot.com/
Also I sell here http://www.artfire.com/users/zoomgraphik.
do you leave in Pincourt!!! I do
I will show you my new pieces later when I learn how to play with the torch LOL…
Elaine
What??? You are in Pincourt?? I will send you a message directly…Cool! :)
Your work is STUNNING! I love the colors you choose and how they work so harmoniously together…and yes definitely not “strung” – I find from experience if you use any form of bead unless it has been hammered and soldered etc. it gets lumped in the category of “strung”. Then there are those who feel what we do is not “art” at all…which is too bad. Anything that is created with a purposeful heart for expression is art as far as I’m concerned. ;)
