Love My Grandkids

Metal stamping
This is my first attempt at stamping metal blanks.  As you can see, I need a little practice aligning my letters and learning how hard to hit them.  It's not as easy and you might think, but I think the imperfect look is okay, afterall, it is supposed to look hand stamped and not machine done.  I mixed metals using  2 sterling silver rounds, a copper round, a sterling silver square and a fancy edged brass piece.  I added a small floating heart charm to let them know how much I loved them.  I will definitely be experimenting with many more of these necklaces.  It's really fun and makes a great, personalized gift.
