Over the weekend I was busy designing the earrings, pendants, and bracelets which I hope to bring to Arizona and California in a couple of weeks.  The sketches serve as working drawings.  After they are complete, I trace the outline of each component of the piece in graphite on frosted acetate.  Next, I "pick" each tracing up with transparent tape and tape it to the sheet metal.  I was able to tape down all of the pieces to the sterling silver sheet by 9pm, but still have the more difficult task of laying out the extremely tiny 18k gold trim pieces.  The material is expensive, and they need to be fitted carefully to prevent waste.
