News and information regarding Hammer & Hand Bangalow.

mild steel , gold leaf , rust , scale and sealed with varnish..

Two new ‘Dreamers’ out and about… ‘Tangled up in You’ and ‘On the thin Ice of a new day'(thanks to Jethro Tull)

Last month I discovered some new rings around Saturn, this month it’s new reins around the sky…..

A few pendants I’ve created since my post about my decolletage 🙂

I made these Pins today ..316 Stainless Steel.. Unpolished as yet because I got a little excited and couldnt wait ….

Never be without a Safty Pin !.. These are great as Scarf Pins , Brooches , Kilt Pins and Handbag brooches/adornment or lost buttons and broken zips.  Also not bad for jamming through an earlobe as Punk accessory, they being 316 Stainless Steel.

I found this small anvil at the ‘Brunswick old and gold’ sale … It is an ‘Old English’ pattern, forged in Birmingham around 1830 to 1860 I think .. The markings are indestinct .. The maker might be an N POWELL ? Bit hard to read .. below that I can make out ‘WARRENTED’ and below that , BIRMINGHAM . I canot find a record of an N POWELL making anvils around that time but there ARE still Powells in Birmingham England !?!  Also pictured here is the new 4lb ball pein hammer I made from a sledge hammer to replace the one worn out by polishing . (the middle one ,… made lots of ladels !)

Ok, maybe not around Saturn, but possibly on a hand near you!   😮

Here are a few rings I have made since I did my first ‘Ring Blog Thingy’ that weren’t included as part of an ‘Exhibition Blog Thingy’ or any other blog thingy.  Enjoy! (as usual, click, then click again for a bigger pic)
