There are several ways for metal surface decoration. I will show one of them, ‘metal surface decoration skill with silver powder’.
silver plate and silver powder
We are going to decorate that silver plate with the silver powder. I gather the powder in glass bottle when I get it at operation.
flux on the silver plate
Put flux on the silver plate with brush and sprinkle the silver powder on it. Be careful about the amount and shape of silver powder, because they decide the pattern will be performed on the surface.
heating
If we heat it with the strong flame, the silver powder will fly away. So heat it overall slowly with weak reducing flame.
making rings
After acid processing and hammering, roll the plate around mandrel. They are free size style silver ring which is made with this surface decoration skill.
Next, the silver ring made by Muse(my student) with same skill.

Anshaus have moved into a new house,Wordpress.com, right now.
I read a post the day before yesterday, and I find a sentence there. “Google owns your content on blogspot” I don’t like that so I removed my blog Anshaus into WordPress.com, and deleted my blog in blogspot.

We had summer vaction during 4 days since 1 August. While visiting my mother, my hometown Daejun looks very different. There are many changes. But she was there with same face. For that reason, home is the best place to go.
