Mano y Metal

Hand Crafted jewelry with an Industrial Edge created by a Chicago Jewelry artist. Metal is my favorite medium: I cut it, stamp it, shine it, hammer it, shape it, melt it and Love it.
so many orders, all that hammering has strained my wrist.. n slowed me down :-( so, brought some temp. lightweight hammer alternatives today while I shop n compare online for my new hammer purchase that’s gonna be a Stiletto Titanium hammer.. can’t decide between the fiberglass handle or hickory handle.. but def. titanium to save my wrist. no more steel!!!! 😣 question is: why didn’t I research this earlier. 😳😣 bright side: my striking arm is as toned as ever. ha. 💪

I tested out a new display yesterday at the #Pozolada event… I fell in love with this wooden shelf fixture n thought it’d be a nice addition… not sure how to optimize the space it gives yet but yesterday this is how it panned out. 😊 was thinking next time, of filling the shelves with bracelets instead..? what do you think? || #manoymetal #display #vendor (at Co-Prosperity Sphere)
