I'm so impressed with everything you've done to make this Finnish National costume. Your talent and dedication in making it as authentic as possible is wonderful. The necklace is beautiful, and I love all the detail you put into it. ❤

What a beautiful necklace! Well done! Swedish traditional/folk outfits have similar brooches to hold the shawl together in the front.

How interesting to take a silversmithing class! It turned out beautifully!

the assembly with the jump rings reminds me of the time i made chainmail! you hold it still and then it slips and everything falls back to the table, and then you pick everything up and get it to the right spot again and hope you haven't somehow connected it backwards- and don't forget to close those rings all the way because otherwise it'll fall apart at the least convenient moment and you'll have to figure out where it connects all over again 😂 the end result is really beautiful and your persistence with all the different fiddly steps of silversmithing really paid off! if you ever need to work with a lot of jump rings again, my recommendation is to get needle nose pliers with a big grip- i started out with round nose pliers like you're using and they absolutely killed my hands.

Vaikuttavaa! Ketä järjesti kurssin ja kauanko aikaa korun tekemiseen meni?

Työväenopiston kurssin kävin ja viikonlopussa valmistui, paitsi tietysti kaiverrus, jota sain odotella sitten, kun tuossa välissä oli kaikenlaisia pyhiä.

Hej igen från Sverige. Where do you buy your saw blades from please ? I need the exact ones you use. Tack

Tyvärr, we were provided the saw blades on the course and I didn’t ask. I know that they were very thin but I didn’t write down any details of them. I can tell that the teeth in those blades were hard to see and they broke very easily.
