I couldnt wait to use my metal stamps that arrived today so have been playing in the garden this afternoon with them. I made this little bookmark by hammering and stamping the spoon then adding a bird n bead..love it..but will probably use it as an ornament so I can look at it
then used an old bracelet to alter a candle with an old spoon that I cut and then stamped love on
love using old vintage tools to do the job. I picked up this old drill from an antique shop last week only £4 bargain!
We went for a bike ride this morning to my favourite local pond
love of collage arty stuff 
Your metal stamping looks so good -love your projects so far! Isn’t it a bit difficult to get a good impression without really hammering though? LOVE those old tools too. Lovely to have a duck pond so close. We have a creek and river that run nearby so I get to enjoy them too. Happy T day!
Your metal stamping looks so pretty–must have taken a lot of strength to get images that good. Looks like you had a nice sunny day to enjoy your bike ride to the pond!
OH Lorraine your hammered pieces are really lovely and oh so special!
I confess I always ask Mr Magpie to do the cutlery hammering on his anvil.
Thank you for sharing the Ducky with us too!
Happy T Day
oxo
p.s. that drill is a real treasure and just my speed…
power tools scare me
I am super impressed with your hammering skills. I have mixed luck with mine. I hoped to make something in a week or so, but after seeing what you accomplished, I doubt I’ll even try. Yours is gorgeous. Mixed with the bracelet and surrounding that candle, this is a wonderful recycle project, too.
Thanks for sharing your ducks, your new tools (especially that drill), and your gorgeous metal art today for T this Tuesday.
Oh please have a go …just whack it with a heavy rubber mallet needs to be silver plated
Great metal stamping! That looks like such fun to do. Love the “ducky”. So calm and quiet there. Just fun to hear your voice, too. Happy T-Day! 🙂
Love your stamp projects!!! I’ve thought about giving it a try but figure I have enough things to keep me busy already 🙂
Metal stamping is totally new to me. Love your projects. Have a great week
