The earrings are beautiful Hope!! One never imagines all the steps that go into the making of jewelry. Well done! My only foray using jewelry tools was for a fundraiser where I made small keychains using thrifted necklaces. Talk about trial by fire! Haha!
These are so cool! Itʻs interesting that doming the tin makes it sturdier. Do you anneal the tin with the hammer (like we do with silver) to make the metal harder?
Thanks! That's a great question. I don't anneal the tin in that manner as banging around on it too much can sometimes scratch and flake the enamel on the tin. Though, that's just me. Other more experienced tin artists may work it differently.
Those are amazing Hope! Thank you for sharing the whole process!
Thank you for watching it! I know I'm a bit all over the place with my creative pursuits. I appreciate it so much!
Beautiful!
Thanks so very much!!
I think you just inspired me to use my precious tins!!! ❤
Yay!! I cannot wait to see what beauty you create!
Smart move nipping those sharp corners off. ✂️
Always!! I'm such a safety-girl!!

Thank you so much, Rose. Yes! There are always more steps than you think. And, that sounds like a fun project despite the trial by fire!!
