In this video, Professor John Ahr of the Online Jewelry Academy demonstrates how to turn scrap silver into unique one-of-a-kind wearables. If you like to experiment or play at the bench, you'll love this fast, fun technique.
Every jewelry designer has a container filled with snips and scraps. Why not combine them to make something spontaneous and fresh. Even if you have to add a little something from a fresh piece of sheet metal or a new spool of wire, you'll quickly fall in love with your design.
One of the coolest things about fusing silver is that the process often causes surface reticulation to develop. This little bit of texture is often just what a project like this needs to give it depth and character.
The OJA has another video on fusing that will show you how to add dimension to your fused pieces.
