Great for metal stamping!
Silver Filled is hundreds of times thicker and more durable than Silver Plated.
Mixed Metal Mandala
These pendants are a fun, new take on Collage Stamping and Patinas! Anything goes when you gather your various Design Stamps to make these beauties. We found it easiest to divide our blanks into quarters by drawing with a sharpie pen, and then working from one side to the opposite side and everything in between! The metallic patinas have a stronger impact the deeper you stamp, so don't be too gentle when stamping this project. Have fun building different shapes off of others and creating a whole new design that is all your own!
Tools And Materials
Tools
-
Fleur de Lis Design Stamp - We used a variety of Design Stamps, all of which are listed below, but feel free to incorporate your favorite shapes and designs, there is no wrong combination.
-
Hooked Jaw Dimple Pliers, 1mm - This is a favorite tool amongst Beaducation designers. We love how it not only makes dimples, but perfect little risen domes too. Pick and choose if you will use the front or the back of this tool.
-
Plastic Mallet - This mallet is a great tool to flatten out your blank if it starts to bend.
-
German Chain Nose Pliers With Ergonomic Handle - We used these to pinch our bails closed and to work with our jump rings.
Materials
-
Sterling Silver Oval Dotted Locking Ring - This locking ring is especially great for the patinas because it shows off the multiple metallic tones beautifully.
