Here is another technique to help you saw out your designs from @jupiterschildco “I draw on low rack artist tape, which is more like paper with an adhesive on the back. Then I usually cut out the shape and then stick it onto the silver sheet so I have a easier guide.” Thank you so much for sharing this! #metalsmithsociety #jewelrytipoftheday #jewelrycommunity #benchjeweler
