I have made as many stones with inlaid solid silver that I can on this trip. All stones except the cross for Graham are in the opening photo. Following are some process photos including shiny stones where I have added a coat of oil to bring out the colour. I wipe the excess oil off and the stone tends to retain the deepened colour.
The two pairs of stones following are going to new homes.
The four below will go into our studio gallery shop when we reach our Maleny home.
I am pleased with what I have achieved.
I love how the silver accentuates the carved lines … and the oil is genius (as in, why didn’t I think of that?) … now I’m wondering if oiling shells might work similarly
