Now for the embossing!  The afternoon was spent embossing metal and playing with patinas.  We used one of the newish Vintaj embossing machines.   It’s sort of like a mini rolling mill.

The square piece has no patina on it, nor has it been sanded.   The disc and the initial charm have been patinaed with the Vintaj patinas.   They are really cool.   I bought some at the Bead and Button Show last year.    They are super simple to apply and easy to clean up.    And they have a great sheen to them.    The red rectangles and heart have been coated with alcohol inks, then sanded.  I like the look of these too.    I like that they are a bit more sheer.    I was going to make the heart into something for Valentine’s day, but I ran out of time.   Of the bunch, I think the disc is my favorite.

We also had a riveting demo and played with mini screws and bolts.

I love how this pendant turned out.   I used a piece of filigree that I had colored previously, some bits and pieces from the kit, and a few loose beads that I brought along, just in case.    I like making stacked and layered things, but joining them together can be tricky.   These mini screws are super easy to use.   Now I just need to find a source for them…

The final project of the day was a little wire wrapped number.  It’s kind of cute.   I like the colors.  My wraps could have been tidier, but the wire was a little shorter than I would have liked, and I was concerned that I might run out 3/4 of the way through.   It came pretty close, but I was able to finish without running out.

All in all it was an awesome day.   I always love learning new jewelry techniques.   I kind of want to slap pictures on everything and make lots of collage-y/ Bohemian/ vintage-y jewelry.    But for now I need to work on another sample for the spring workshop and get my instructions updated.
