Friend, filigree mentor, and filigree master Yehuda Tassa is about to release his second filigree how-to DVD. While reviewing the DVD for Yehuda to give him feedback before the final version is cut, I took some screenshots.
Back in the first few sessions of filigree workshops, Yehuda used to teach the flower project first. Once us intermediate students convinced him, he started teaching an easier project to the new students, and this is now a second project in his workshops.
Below are the first three things I ever created in filigree, years ago. The filler patterns that Yehuda is teaching are different than those in my pendant/pins. And, Yehuda is teaching a bezel setting while I went for a prong setting in all three of my pieces. If the picture of my pieces looks familiar, perhaps you’ve seen the photo before in “The Art and Craft of Making Jewelry: A Complete Guide to Essential Techniques” by Joanna Gollberg, Lark Books.
