One of my teachers gave me some really cool looking old silverware and after I found your page on Stumbleupon it got me interested in the idea of maybe making some rings and bracelets out of them. I was just wondering if there is any way you would be willing to tell me how you cut and bend them so well. I'm guessing you hammer the spoons around a mandrel, but that still seems like it would be really hard to do it that way so I wasn't sure. I was also wondering how you polish them so well. I understand completely if you don't want to share your process with me, but if you are willing to I would appreciate it so much because I just love learning about how to make new things. Especially jewelry! Thanks! -Lauren :) I’m a senior in high school and I’m making recycled jewelry for my AP Studio Art portfolio.
