cybikCollege is going all right, although the lack of one of our teachers doesn't help. She's not around and noone seems to know why. Even the technicians haven't been told! I hope she's okay..
Other news: I got a job! It's only a Saturday job but then again, that's pretty much exactly what I wanted. It's at a framing shop just aroudn the corner (literally) from my flat. They phoned me last week after I had an interview saying I hadn't got it, but then they phoned me today and asked if I was still interested. Woo!
Continuing my theme of only updating when I have work to show, here are some spoons. Yes, I'm going a bit spoon mad, but they're great fun to make!
Oh, click on the pictures for bigger versions, by the way - you can see the forged texture more clearly!
I'm pretty pleased with them, especially the one on the left. I see myself making lots of spoons.
If anyone wants I'll make you one for £25, though it would obviously not be identical to the ones pictured.

Forged silver spoons Two sterling silver spoons forged from rod. They are about 2 3/4 inches long. I made the one on the right first, and I think the development from the first to the second shows. They have been partly polished, although the bowls need to be polished more in order to remove some scratches. |

(back) The left hand one has marks from the hammer on the bowl which are accentuated by the polishing but I don't think that's a bad thing. |
