A New Craft Added to my Collection - Jewellery Making

I love to learn new things. Once Autumn comes around again I start looking into what evening courses are available in my area. In 2013 I did an academic type class so I wanted something hands on this time around. One course in particular grabbed my attention,  jewellery class concentrating on working with metals.

It began in October of last year and the first few classes were learning some basic techniques. It is a very involved class and from the very start we were working with tools and metals. After the initial practice sessions were complete we were allowed to create our own piece.

I absolutely loved this course so I decided to do the second session after Christmas as well. This entails mostly working on my own projects, with some help and input from the instructor. I have fallen in love with working with silver wire, I'm a big fan of silver. So today I wanted to share with you a small pendant I made.

Two Hearts Together Pendant

This piece came out beautifully, the large and small heart formed by the swirls are very sweet. A second ring at the top stills needs to be added for the chain. Currently I am slowly building a set of tools to work on some of these projects at home.

I would love to hear your thoughts on my new crafty pursuit in the comments below.
