Article on how to Safely Oxidize Silver is posted on BeadingHelpWeb.com. The photos in the article show the transition from bright silver to just out of the egg bag to finished buffing with steel wool and a polishing cloth.
I’ve had quite a bit of fun playing with some beads and toggles that I had purchased previously. Going to do some experimentation with finished pieces as well over the next couple of days.
I also got a nice catalog from Thunderbird Supply Company yesterday, fun to peruse. They have some ring components that look interesting to try to work with. Unlike Fire Mountain or some of the other catalogs I get, Thunderbird doesn’t have a huge array of finished pieces to pull ideas from. That is one of the things I like most about gazing through catalogs, so I miss that!
Good day to clean the jewelry room…it’s cold, damp, and generally nasty outside. BRRR…I guess it is December in western Iowa!!!
