One of my goals this spring is to practice fusing on Argentium sterling silver, with special attention on granulation. After reviewing Ronda Coryell's 4 set DVD on Argentium, I decided to give it a go. Making and fusing the three 12 gauge round wire rings together went rather well. Applying granulation to the fused ring was a little more challenging. The idea is to apply the granules with flux a few at a time, letting the flux dry before attempting to add more granules. A heat lamp speeds up this process. After 4 attempts, I was finally able to get all the granules fused to the ring.
Good beginning. Congrats
