we thought of posting a documentation on how PETAL PENDANTS are made

since there´s a very nice interview with the A-part of WSAKE in the new BRIGITTE

we couldn´t be more happy about it

.

here we go:

making PETAL PENDANTS is hard and sometimes dirty work

.

even though i´m a rather trained "sawer" now

after finishing one or two i have to take a little sawing break

since the material is so thick and hard to maneuver

W calls me the sawing master - now he has discovered one of the secrets:

i´m working standing up

and after over 50 years of experience he says it´s so much easier to do it this way

so in case there are some people out there working in the same field

give it a try:)

.

then there is rolling and forging

followed by filing

(also drilling when a silver chain should be added and brazing, too)

.

browning with foul smelling hepar sulfuris

.

finishing, lots of it 

.

we´re never working on more than three or four at once

(which is quite a big number for us)

since the process is so exhausting

but when those are done, we start over again
