About the book >.>.> Here is an accessible way to learn silversmithing. Achieve extraordinary results immediately on stunning home acces- sories, wearables, and marvelous gifts, from a bud vase to a torque Necklace. Understanding the materials, tools, and processes required makes everything that follows easier and more fun. As your skills improve and you become more experienced, you can make increasingly complex designs. Begin with simple hammering, filing, and folding to craft a handsome money clip or traditional baby spoon. You will be amazed by what else you can make as a novice, including a candleholder that consists of a shining silver spiral soldered to a shallow dish and an unusual business card holder with an elegant pierced motif. It will take you only an after- noon to fashion the card holder, using just a few tools. Intermediate projects offer the opportuni- ty to strengthen your skills and learn new ones. It may be hard to believe, but you can forge functional and well-designed cutlery out of straight silver rods. Develop your expertise at sinking and planishing to create texture. (LL)
