π¬π§πΊπ¦ NAFO fella, fundraising for Ukraine with hand made jewelry and metal keyrings for donations.
The πΊπ¦ Fellaship of the Ring is nearly upon us. This first ring is a thank you and is being gifted onwards. β€οΈ @kezza.bsky.social See the thread below to see how it was made.
Fellas, I wanted to say a huge thank you to @n1chn4-v1dm4.fellas.social for this donation of silver. The thought behind this one makes it very special. β€οΈ
The silver Tryzub below has been paid for. The money has already been donated towards life saving medical equipment. β€οΈ
Update: I've finished an antique silver Tryzub pendant (request from Sue). I've ordered a super powerful vacuum pump from eBay and I've now got some silver solder paste that contains silver, you just put it on and melt it to join silver.

I've been sent some little silver spoons from @kezza.bsky.social I'm going to have a go at turning these into rings. What is your ring size? I want to join the ends before I do any shaping. The first one is yours, and can be used as an example to sell the others. π«Ά
I managed to cast 11 silver pieces at the weekend. It doesn't look like much but this should raise +$1200 USD. The slow cool didn't stop the surface coating of phosphates developing but boiling the pieces in lemon juice makes it easy to scrub off. I seem to only have one issue now, there are 1/2
What are your thoughts on this fellas? It's an idea for a fundraising piece for @juliasubbotina.bsky.social Should I make it more simple? The beauty of the florks is in their simplicity. π€·πΌββοΈ
I've been bestowed my first ever patch and I'm over the moon. Thank you @tootswoot.bsky.social ! π« I'm not sure if this is a sign of approval or if I'm now a member. π Either way, I'm truly honoured and I love it. β€οΈ
I've just prepared a mould with 11 pieces. 5 x seals, 5 x Tryzubs and a shark to thank @tootswoot.bsky.social for an amazing donation. I need 340g of silver for this pour. That would cost a LOT of money! Thanks to those that have donated, I love you for trusting me. ππ

@tootswoot.bsky.social I wanted to keep you updated. I managed to swap the bracelet for all this silver which I can do a great deal more good with. There's enough here to make about $1,200 USD in pendants. π₯°
I have a new toy! π₯³ It has taken me a while to get time to build it up. It's a laser engraver/cutter and I picked it up from a Scope charity shop for Β£70. Win, win!
Thanks to @prometheus122.bsky.social I have just sent another $229.76 which is going towards life saving medical equipment via @rimafellaria.bsky.social
My first ever broach/badge, made from one of my silver Tryzubs. Request by @prometheus122.bsky.social ππ

Here is the full donation from @tootswoot.bsky.social The bracelet in the top left is going to be exchanged for its value in silver. The other items are worth less second hand than they would be if I melted them down. I will probably try and sell the charms and buy some silver with the money. β€οΈ
I have just sold two silver Tryzubs with the money going to life saving medical equipment. ππ The total for the fundraising project is now $2,676.15
I love this bit! β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ Both Tryzubs have sold and the funds have already been transferred to @rimafellaria.bsky.social π«
Fellas, I have just added two solid silver Tryzub pendants to my fundraising store. If you buy one of these, 100% of the donation goes to @rimafellaria.bsky.social who is collecting for life saving medical equipment. ππ Check the link below: dragon.offersupermarket.com/browse/catNl...
Tonight we light candles in our windows to remember the Holodomor victims. One of our volunteers had her grandfather starved to death in a Soviet prison for picking a pocketful of grain from the earth after harvest. The trench candle symbolises remembrance and dedication to fight for justice.

If this isn't the funniest DM sent today, then I can't wait for the next one. π€£
βοΈURGENT HELP FOR STABILIZATION POINTβοΈ The medics of 56th brigade urgently need equipment for their stabilization point. I won't write much, I'll just say that, these superhumans save the lives of other superhumans - our parents, brothers, sisters, friends, acquaintances or strangers.
The first item that I opened from @tootswoot.bsky.social was this: it's a silver bracelet with a chunky solid gold clasp fitted with small diamonds. π³ The first thing that I did was message toots and offered to send it all back. Spare silver is one thing, this is a lovely piece worth more...
Cryptic message time. π«’ You will not believe what I have received from @tootswoot.bsky.social It's going to enable me to make an amazing amount of good for Ukraine. πΊπ¦ Generosity beyond belief! I'll explain more tomorrow.

I have some solid silver Tryzubs ready but the braided cord to hang them from still hasn't arrived. I ordered it Tuesday and paid extra for next day delivery. π«€ One of these has been reserved and is going to be turned into a badge/broach. I've ordered the pins and clips for that, still waiting.

Just about to finish the winner of a Rocky raffle, a winged polecat, riding a lion through a war torn forest with a hedgehog trying to keep up. Not something I ever thought I would paint but the winners choice, I was working on the hedgehog last night, tiny little fella, hope to finish tonight β€οΈ
From humble beginnings, I have created my own fundraising project for Ukraine. I work solely for Ukraine, I donate pieces for raffles and run a fundraising store: dragon.offersupermarket.com Please see the 1st reply to this post for proof of my donations and sales. I believe in 100% transparency.

This is my 1st post here. I make metal objects, jewellery and keyrings in exchange for donations to Ukrainian fundraisers. (I donate my time and effort). I sand cast, lost wax cast, sculpt and finish by hand. I have a dedicated fundraising store and have been posting on X for a while. ππ
Good news fellas. The last one of my (solid silver) fundraising seals for Coast of Life has been paid for with another direct donation to @coastoflife.bsky.social That's roughly $500 USD raised in total. This last donation was from JellyLegs Elle on X.
I will have 3 or hopefully 4 solid silver Tryzub pendants to list for donations very shortly. Which do you prefer the finish on out of these below? The antique silver look or the polished shiny jewellery look?
