A couple of stacker rings made for my niece, whom I'll see tomorrow. Gold made from a ring her father gave me to melt down. I used all of it in this new one for his daughter. #silversmithing #silverjewelry #stackerrings

Copied from my son's favourite Japanese pants. Tried to follow unusual side seam overlapped joins. A mix of tailoring and casual, elastic hem and pen pocket. Made in cotton linen mix #wearethefabricstore. Already have had to reinforce some seams from rough wearing. #wellingtonsews #nzsews

Fixing and finishing. #silversmithing #silverjewelry #charmbracelets . My grandmother collected kiwiana charms but sadly never had them soldered onto the chain. Mum has been asking for years to look at it but I wanted to fix it and replace charms. Will show her next week. Started the surfboard brochure awhile back and I think it's finished. Tempting to add more but simple is nice.

#silversmithing #silverjewelry. First project for the holidays. A remake of a previous ring i wasn't happy with. Remelted the balls and flattened them, easier to solder in place. Irony is my fingers get so messy in the process they don't do justice to the products.
