Silversmithing Contest for May 2002 Deadline For Submitting Entries: April 20th, 2002 |
Silver: 2 inches of 3/16 serrated fine silver bezel Note: If you already have some bezel and you wish to use it, I will make an exception to this one. However, just so that you know, I teach my students to never use any thing but serrated bezel, and for almost every project, 3/16 inch bezel. (Rio Grande #101-052 Minimum order 42 inches = $5.61 (about 13 cents per foot)) Approximate Cost: $0.25 12 inches of 18 gauge round sterling silver wire (Rio Grande # 100-318 Minimum order 6 feet = 4.54 (about 76 cents per foot)) Approximate Cost: $1.00 1 inch x 1 inch 26 gauge sterling silver sheet ( Rio Grande #100-126 Minimum order 1x6 inches = (about 74 cents per 1x1 inch)) Approximate Cost: $0.75 One 12 x 10 mm stone Note: You may use any stone that is valued at less than $1.00. The purpose of this contest is to see who can design and make the best piece from this very inexpensive materlist list. The stone, it's color and it's quality will not be factored into the decission making process. I will be judging the silversmithing techniques only. Some examples of these inexpensive stones are show below. Approximate Cost: $1.00 The photos of the stones were taken from the Rio Grande catalog so I included their catalog numbers for you. If you do not have a stone, I highly recommend ordering them from Rio Grande: 1-800-545-6566. You will have to order 6 or 12 stones, but the cost of all of them is still very inexpensive. This one piece will more than pay for all of them. Misc Supplies: Hard Solder, flux, pickle, Silver Black oxidizer. Approximate Cost: $1.00 Approximate Total Cost of Materials: $4.00 |
