Sugar skulls and pick soldering

Hello Friends!
We've had a fun week updating the back room of the studio. It isn't quite finished, but we are nearly there. Wohoo!
Quick tip: When pick soldering, keep the pick away until you've melted the silver into a ball, then swoop in and pick it up. When the pick is cold, it grabs the solder easier.

Melanie made this sugar skull necklace. I love the texture she used to make the piece stand out. It is held together with rivets and tube rivets at the top connect it to its chain. She tube set red faceted stones for the eyes.

 Sienna made this pebble ring for her Jewelry 1 project. She made a small one for her delicate hands!

 What a unique idea! This vintage cosmetic luggage case is used by Trisha to keep all of her supplies in one place.

 The inside, complete with an upper tray for little tools and findings.

Vera made this saguaro pendant using her sawing, texturing and tube riveting skills. I love her use of color to make it pop!

We had a giveaway on instagram this week. Are you following the studio on instagram?



Cody had fun visiting family over easter and participating in the easter egg hunt.
