Rock and Roll Baby ………….
sterling guitar pick pendant with brass flames
the reason – just because I wanted to and I can
I cut out some equal sized guitar picks
one in 20 gauge sterling and one in 20
gauge brass ( copper or bronze will work too ) I filed the edges round
with a number 2 file ( pretty fine )
draw your flames onto the brass pick and start cutting with a jewelry saw and 1/0 saw blades
flux your brass flames and add solder – heat with torch until solder melts
solder both sterling and brass together
after quenching and cleaning start filing with a number 2, 3 or 4 file
see the gap ? gap no good , better start filing
file until the solder seam is smooth
start polishing
I just left the metal raw and satin looking and did not add patina drill a hole
