2012 Cruise Workshop: Stamped Metal Jewelry

One of my first tries. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of it!

 We were very lucky in that we got to try out one of the hottest trends in jewelry crafts right now - metal stamping! Impress Arts sent us various letter stamp sets and pendants to hammer into submission!

Mega supplies!

I stamped on a washer from the hardware store.

Here I stamped on lightweight tin.

You need a steel block and tape to hold down your item and center your letters.

Maya is working on a necklace.

Time for her to get hammered!

Annie's charms. After you stamp, you fill in with a permanent marker and then wipe it off, the black fills the grooves.

Alisa gives it a try.

Here is Patrick giving the demo.
