On the Bench Today - Bronze BarrettessteemCreated with Sketch.

I used to make these free form barrettes...for quite a few years, with the man who taught me metalwork.

Hopefully at some point I will have a steady place for using a torch. When that happens I will be able to make so many more styles, and get into some serious metalwork :)

For now there are a few styles I can make with .080 wire, and I might do a few with .102 wire in simple designs.

Well that is it, short bench post. I mainly wrapped orders today and polished regular hair forks...but Thanks for reading!

Whoa that is a very cool barrette!
Reminds me of a musical instrument
and note shapes. Real elegant @elew!

Spirals are so awesome 🐚

I like spirals too, very much :) These look similar to a treble clef I think? They are fun to make...

This would be beautiful on nice handmade shawl. Nice work! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! I know people have asked me to make shawl pins, and at some point I will try to add them in...I am just not sure where they would fit in our shops...
