School Of Hard Knocks


School Of Hard Knocks

Woo hoo! We are almost half way through the first month of the new year! Hope that all of us had a good start! Just wanted to share something crafty that my hubby and I did today - we went to attend a session at the School of Hard Knocks at Royal Selangor (yes that pewter shop) and made ourselves little pewter bowls. We were provided with thin pewter sheets, and we engraved our names and then knocked them (and ourselves) silly with hammers, using wooden block molds provided. Then after scrapping off the sharp edges and giving them a scrub for some shine - voila! Here is our handiwork - not bad right! I think hubby did better than me, in fact he had to help me several times to shape my bowl properly. His is the one with our girl's name, and naturally she was very happy with her new bowl! :)
