How to Rivet, Manipulate, Make Jewelry from Brass Stampings

Welcome to our messy workshop, come right in! In this video, B'sue talks about American made brass stampings and filigree. You'll see how you can rivet and manipulate them to make your own vintage style jewelry designs. Not familiar with brass stampings? Today is the day you learn about their rich heritage in American art and jewelry making history. For well over a hundred years the US was the costume jewelry capital of the world, and still many of the dies that produced the old pieces are working. The website is full of classic examples that B'sue loves and has used for years, in her own work. You'll find that at http://www.bsueboutiques.com. Hang in there with us as we learn to shoot video! Hopefully being with us for a little bit in our well-used studio will get you ready to work with these wonderful findings! #BSue_Boutiques
