For the months of May and June the theme was to make a decorative, elaborate clasp by hand. These pieces were made my members of our community and I think they did an outstanding job! For those that are interesting in participating in a challenge this is how it works: on the first of the month I put a story out with two theme options and we all vote. Whichever theme wins gets posted the next day and saved in my “CHALLENGE” story highlights. You then have the month to create a piece for the challenge. The spirit of the challenge is to do something new, create something outside of what you would normally create. If you’d like to be featured in my IGTV all you need to do is email me (submissions are due the day before the last day of the month) corkie@metalsmithsociety.com, and please include pictures and/or video (square format) and let me know what your IG handle is and I will add it to credit you :) Thanks everyone!!
