Creating a hoard...

A little while ago I indicated that I was commissioned to make a horde of pieces from a covered silver-plated EPNS serving tray. A couple of the pictures in the post showed that I had cut up the tray (top and bottom). I am now just about finished the work.

This post shows: two Daily Word sets; two spiral rings; two spiral bracelets; two pendants; two pairs of found earrings; two leaf forms; and offcut-scraps turned into fragment bowls.

By Sunday I will have finished the remaining part of the commission - to make a set (three) of small fungi form bowls. But now it is time to head to the kitchen and make the first pizza for 2016 and accompany it with a glass or two of red.
