Ring resizing? by
stacy c
I have a ring that I made in a size 7.25 for sale; a buyer who is a
size 9 wants it.
The most I have ever stretched a ring is up to 1 full size, with a
roller stretcher. The stone, which is already set, is very unique, so
this would be my preferred option, but I am afraid that stretching...

Creating very light hollow metal ornaments by
Marin
I wanted to create very light hollow metal ornaments that could float
by the buoyancy of the air inside. I wanted to use metal because some
parts of the object would need to withstand an ambient temperature of
about 100-150 degrees celsius. I figured a good thickness for the
