I am loving what I am working on right now. I had an amazing weekend etching. My In-Law's are the most awesome In-Law's anyone could ask for. They offered to watch my daughter on Friday so that I could get some work done and work I did.
I was able to crank out almost 40 new pendants, bracelet focals, earring pairs and links!
I have already made several new jewelry pieces with them and have a ton of ideas being sketched and dreamed.
I wanted to share something I finally got the chance to play with on Friday...
My SAW. I bought my saw a long while ago and never, ever even loaded the blade into it. Then I found the link to Beaducation's free online tutorial on sawing shapes and I knew I could do it.

I intended to only saw out one pendant but once I got started I couldn't stop.
I am now on the lookout for anything to saw :-)

Happy 1st of May!
How do you plan to spend the first day of May?

I love sawing! I don't even own metal snips!
Love love! Love!
This is awesome! I do love my saw as well...jeweler's best friend.
For never having used a saw before, your pieces turned out great!
That's something I have been afraid to try but you make it sound so easy. I love what you did.
Beautiful Shannon!
Wow, you did great! Love your sawed pieces!
Gorgeousness! I need to learn how to etch!
Holy Cow! You're a precision sawing machine! I come from the hack and break blades school of sawing so I'm super impressed :)
Those are great! I learned to saw in a class but never got into it - you did a great job!
GREAT job Shannon! I love the way you did the first pendant and love the paisley! Can't wait to see what you do with both of them! great in-laws, too!
What great work. I've always been afraid to get a saw and try it. May have to re-think it.
Oh la la!! You are kicking butt with your sawing. So very awesome girlie!
