Tutvusin haamri ja paksu vasest traadiga :) Ega ma ei plaaninudki midagi valmis saada, lihtsalt tahtsin proovida, mis tunne on haamerdada. Vehenditeks olidki laste ehituskomplekti haamer, suur ja pikk metalli viil ja hädaga leidsin ühed suuuuured ja koledad tangid, mis näsisid kõik hambuliseks... Traadi sain ussickese käest ;) Ütleme nii, et see haamerdamine oli paras väljaelamine :) Esimesest jupist hakkas tulema nõel! Uskumatu! Minu kõige esimene nõel! Tagusin otsast peenemaks ning viilisin ilusti siledaks, et kangast ei lõhuks. Ahhh, ma olin nii põnevil, et nõelale tuli juurde ka, hmm, no ütleme siis aas, millega koos nad moodustavad sõle. Ja oh üllatust, see sõlg toimib ka praktiliselt! Eks see üks rohmakas ja natuke kole sõlg on, aga esimese korra kohta olen rahul, väga rahul.
I made my acquaintance with a hammer and a think copper wire :) I didn't planned to achieve anything, just wanted to get the feeling. So I didn't have any proper tools: a hammer from children "tool" kit, a big and long metal file and I managed to find a pair of old pliers that scrathed every surface they touched. I got this wire from ussicke ;) Well, hammering can sure help with stress :) The first piece wanted to become a needle! Unbelievable! My very first needle! I hammered it thinner and thinner and used file to smoothen the surface. I was so thrilled that I also made a hmm, a sort of a ring so they both will make a brooch. And I was so happy to find out that this brooch actually practically works! Yes I know it looks ugly and raw, but I'm really happy with the result knowing it is my very first hammered 'thing'.
