What I Made Today: Hammered Brass & Gemstone Bracelets - November 29, 2010.

Hammered brass & gemstone charm bracelets.

I've spent the last few weeks soldering and hammering brass into bracelets. I attach the gemstone charms after the metal looks exactly the way I want it. It's amazing what inexpensive therapy pounding on metal is. I've sublimated a lot of aggression taking a ball peen hammer to brass or sterling silver. You should try it! At most, it will run you about one to two dollars and hour, rather than the standard $125, and you may not work out your childhood issues, but you'll feel like the antagonist of the moment is of little consequence, and you'll have something beautiful to wear or a gift for that someone.
