Hello all,
Yesterday, I was amazed when visiting an exhibition on Etruscan people,
now displayed in Barcelona; I could appreciate the exquisite jewelry
they worked. I tried to take two pictures for sharing with you, whereas
the result was not good, so I have drawn the simple geometrical design
of the piece. It is a free hand draw, so excuse me if it is not very
good, I hope it will be enough understandable though.
The piece that impressed me in a so special manner was a wire, open work
bracelet with a geometrical design, which it would be liable to be lace
made.
The filigree * of the bracelet was that of twisted threads soldered
between two strips, forming an open work similar to a hemstitch.
Maybe any of our colleagues spiders would like to give it a try!
I have put the bracelet draw on:

Bye for now.

*Filigree according with what Prof. Sheat says, derived from the
Spanish: Filore = to spin; and Grano = Grain of the worked material.
