Shirley R asked:


I make beautiful bracelets, yet I can’t seem to sell them at craft fairs. I was thinking of teaching to other people what I have learned. Is this possible as I self taught everything to myself. But now I am looking to expand into another area of jewelry making




Silverware heating for bending?

how to make a wire bracelet
Biff S asked:


I heated silverplate flatware with a propane torch in order to bend for bracelets and other jewelry. I did it in darkness and only to a cherry red color. After bending I used a steel wire wheel on my Dremel to shine back from it discolored. I was unsuccessful to bring a silver color back and a pewter/black color remains. Did I heat it too much or what? I tried not heating it but was difficult to bend. Any advice?
