Hope we'll see you here!
For those of you that missed out on Chuck's (DowntotheWireDesigns.etsy.com) visit to the Labs, I thought I'd share some pics of him working throughout the day yesterday:
He came and got settled in the metals area and flamed up the torch with a few ring designs in mind,
Then he worked meticulously on his new designs,
After a couple hours, he had decided to not only design a couple rings, but also a pair of earrings,
Here he is polishing the earrings with the Flexible shaft:
At the end of the day, he showed me his finished pair of earrings and so graciously said he would like to donate them to the Etsy Labs shop in hopes of helping to support more equipment and the idea of the Labs...wow!
These are the earrings that he made from start to finish while at the Labs, all silver with some mild patina and polished to perfection! You can see some more pics and angles of them in our Etsy shop here.Check out Joanne working hard in the metal studio:
These fabulous earrings were designed and handmade by Joanne of JoanneTracyDesigns. Joanne signed up for a couple beginning jewelry making classes from the workshop pages of the Etsy Labs and learned some new skills. She then used her PAL membership to the Etsy Labs to come use the metal bench she had learned those skills on to make this new pair of earrings and hang out with us...and finally, they are the first product born (made...haha) at the Etsy Labs to be listed on Etsy for sale!!
They are listed right here and I'm sure they won't last long!
