A few pics from Bead & Button 2011

This is one of the pieces made by a student during my basic metalsmithing workshop, Saw, File and Stamp. The patina on this copper flower pendant and her hard work are not done justice by my grainy iPhone photo. I need a better camera at the show, because so many pieces were fantastic and the photos didn't turn out at all.

Here are a couple of pics of students making prong settings during one of my stone setting workshops. All of our students made great pieces and were wonderful to work with, in every class. Thanks and gratitude to all of you!
