At the Organic Metal Jewellery Studio in downtown Toronto, I fell in love with jewellery making. I knew I was meant to to do this the moment I picked up the jewellery saw. After doing a weekend workshop at the studio, I used my last vacation days of work to spend the week at the studio for a 5 day intensive metalsmithing course. My hands and arms were sore, my nails were chipped, and I've shed abit of blood from sawing after those 5 days, but I was still absolutely undeniably in love with metalsmithing.

Formed into a band, ready to solder the joints.
Used "hard" solder chips to weld the joint.
My almost-fnished ring sitting in an acid pickle to remove those nasty firesclaes away~
...TADAHH! After sizing, filing, polishing, hammering and texturing, my ring is finito!
Stay tuned...
