Weathered Bezels

I taught my first bezel class yesterday. I was inspired by Stephanie Lee's SemiPrecious Salvage (wonderful book) but I haven't worked with a torch yet. I've been using a soldering iron and teaching classes with it for several years now, so thought I might just try a bezel with the soldering iron. I used bezel wire instead of copper pipe. Very pleased with the results. And my students' projects were fabulous!

It's always a treat to teach at Ornamentea - not only is it the best store, the best people work there and their customers and students are always amazing!
