Matte Finish by Pouring Sand Media From a Height

Here is an old Japanese technique of applying a matte finish shared by @johnnyoro -“You can get any sort of size media sand, the more uniform the better. Any place that carries sandblasting equipment will have a variety of sands, beads, media choose from. With a bucket all you do is scoop it up with a funnel, from a height above your head release the opening and allow the media to pour onto the piece of jewelry. This is really good for recessed areas to achieve an even finish.” Thank you SO much for letting me share this technique! 🙌 I had never seen this before! #jewelrymaking #jewelrymakingtipoftheday
