Jewelry Portfolio – Andrew Eifler

I took my first metalworking class in eighth grade and have been hooked ever since. After writing this blog for over half a decade, I figured it was also time to display some of my creative work. Enjoy!

When you tilt the snuffer, it reveals a window in the top of the bell so you can watch the flame go out.
