As his world fell DownAnd he'd be there for you, even if his world was falling down.

My uncle was right, nothing is ever what it seems. From the time you were dropped off on the sandy hills, till the moment you set first foot on the castle stones I had kept a watchful eye on you. Not because my uncle Jareth told me to, but because you intrigued me.. I recognized myself in you. And for that, I wanted you to help you get through this beautiful Labyrinth I've grown so fond of growing up.

The Labyrinth is old, older then I've even been able to find the earliest records of, and it's been the only place I used to call home as I grew up as a child. I do have a home now

Jugenstil Spoonby ~Cinniuint

Artisan Crafts / Jewelry / Other

Jugenstil spoon I made from forging (hammering metal into shape, NOT casting) Sterling silver. After drawing down design on the handle, sawed it out by hand (jesus that was a bitch.. it's nearly 4 millimetres thick close to the bowl)

Got a 70% good on it.. the back is still a disaster.. didn't have time to got all the oxide spots out.. but I don't really care now XD

Wow very handsome. I like your work. I am an intermediate silversmith and am taking classes. I have several silver spoons I've been wondering what to do with. I think I might play around with pierce work. Although I know how you feel about sawing, when the silver is thick it seems to take forever! Ugh. I was just sawing a piece, the handle off the spoon to use as a ring shank. Then I will flatten out the spoon part for a base of a bezel. Keep up the wonderful work.

General things we do to silver spoons is melt them down to cast rods or plaques and work from there starting from scratch. Then the sky is really the limit

Oh, and check your silver properly on what grade it is, because anything lower then 925dz should not really be used for jewellery because of the high copper content and allergies concerning it. Good luck!

Thanks for the reminder. I'm working with copper, silver and brass and soon nickel. We will be a doing a "marriage of metals" class in mid January. Looking forward to that. I know I can't stamp or tell anyone the spoon jewelry is 925dz. I let them know I work with mixed metals. Most people today are very interested in it.

I'd stay away from nickel if I were you, it's almost never used in the jewellery business any more because so many people are allergic to it. As soon as someone hears there's nickel in it they won't buy it because of this
