Here is a stamping tip from @colorfieldsjewelry - “From my pile of sterling scrap I sort out some bigger pieces and anneal a bunch of them. I keep this stash by my stamps. When I want to try out a stamping idea, I grab a pre-annealed scrap and test it out. I don’t have to stop work to find metal to practice on... I always have a pile ready to go.” This is super useful! When the piece has no more space to demo on you can put it in your scrap bin and send to your refiner! Thanks for sharing this with us ☺️ hope everyone has a fantastic week!! #stampingjewelry #jewelrymakingtips #jewelrymakingcommunity
