The wishes come true
My first wish - to work with silver. If you are waiting for this as well as I - enjoy! :)
Copper - it's beautiful, I will not leave it. But the silver - perfect in its own way.
First, the color absolutely magical, shines some light of heaven Without patina decoration looks so frail and weightless, and even better with a patina. And often I doubt - patinate or not?
Silver is very different in stiffness. Copper after annealing was malleable as clay, but the silver remain tough. Fewer traces of the tools harder to fix the ends of thin wire.
And best of all - a thin wire not torn or broken in the wrong place and can withstand repeated loads.
Silver soldering is not like soldering copper. This metal is very easy to melt. Therefore we must be very careful to warm the whole piece and carefully prepare the place of soldering.
