i have been off in health issues world, so have not had to much time with my art or craft projects- however i did manage to finish up some items that i started 6 months ago. they are just a few of my silverware revamp. i have been making pendants out of vintage silverware. i have completed the below, however since they are old and have little imperfections i thought about bluing them or dipping them in silver. however if i blue them would it be safe to wear ( i will be googling my heart out later on this btw) and if i dip them in silver- what is cost effective? any thoughts???

i made this for myself. i messed up on it (glue issues and paint issues- my intention was to have a crackle finish- but the crackle i was using was shite)- but it still looks great- i added a faux latch and just placed felt with ribbon around for the bottom. i currently use it for just a bits and bobbles storage in my bedroom

and this is a piece i made out of recycling my russian icon calender from last year- it is made out of basal wood and has gold leafing. it will hang in my son's room.
