About a month ago I bought a set of metal alphabet stamps to make a necklace for my mother-in-law. I posted a picture of the finished necklace on facebook and soon had many requests to make more! A couple of these were custom made Mother's Day gifts for new moms and grandmas or end-of-the-school-year gifts. Here are some pictures of my work!
In the beginning I did a lot of practicing to get my letters and words spaced even and straight. It also took some experimenting to find the best stamping set-up. I started on the wood workbench in the garage, but learned fast that the workbench was absorbing a lot of the vibrations from hammering and I wasn't getting a deep enough stamp. So I moved to the garage cement floor and got better results with less hammer strikes.
I have many more ideas I can't wait to try so I'm sure another post is yet to come!
