Gilded Relics by Romancing the Bling

I am so excited to announce my workshop:

"Gilded Relics" by Romancing the Bling

Sunday, June 30th 10:00am to 4:00pm.

Hosted by The Pickled Hutch,
1606 South El Camino Real, San Mateo, CA.

Join me for a day of creative inspiration. We will create a beautiful pendant necklace using an Iconic image, or you may want to use a photo of your mother, grandmother, or someone special. Using your beautiful vintage rhinestone jewelry...together we will share in a friendly and relaxed environment creating beautiful and romantic pieces of jewelry.

Students will learn the basics of solder with a soldering iron. You will learn my "gilded" technique, as well as securely adding beautiful vintage components ~ vintage rhinestone jewels, found objects, stampings, etc. I will be teaching the use of patina to give your jewelry that "old world" vintage look.

I will teach you how to forge and work harden wire into bails, components and necklace links, as well as an attractive hook closure. Simple wire wrapping of crystals and pearls with your handmade links will add a subtle and beautiful compliment to your romantic pendant ~
