Here is a texture tip from @hannah.lynn.jewelry - “How to make a fused, earthy, sandy, texture on your jewelry!
I love this texture and use it from time to time in my pieces. Typically fusing is done with fine silver, however I have found with the right amount of flux and finesse, I have had luck using my sterling sawdust. I especially thought it was fitting for these rustic trilobite necklaces. Check it out!” thanks for sharing Hannah! Really cool to see your process we appreciate you!
