Rivet Magic
I enrolled in a jewelry making class over the weekend: Rivet Magic. The task was to make a pair of metal disk earrings. However, we had to cut out our own disks of metal, texture/hammer them, drill holes, and make a smooth rivet. Then, we could add any stones or gems that we wanted to add some interest...or bling. It took a couple of hours to do this, and the instruction was very good. Had blast!
We had a choice of choosing silver, brass, or copper; obviously, I chose the copper (although the rivet is silver). I'm hoping to make another pair (perhaps this week), now that I know the process and how to use all the tools. Next time: silver.

They turned out beautiful! Did you make the little swirly piece at the bottom too? It's so hard to get them so even. You did a great job.
