Join the Feast- our February monthly challenge

Thank you for joining the Feast challenge this month.
We started off with this prompt:
The origin of the word February is from the Middle English feverer, from Old French feverier, based on Latin februarius, from februa, the name of a purification feast held in this month. The spelling change in the 15th century was due to association with the Latin word. To whet your appetite for this challenge, see the epic "Feast Bracelet" from 1974 by master Metal Artist Richard Mawdsley. Perhaps your feast will involve a mouthwatering slice of watermelon tourmaline,or a skewer-kebab of textural chunks, or maybe you're inspired by goblets, drinking horns or Viking feast utensils for eating. Perhaps these feast foods from historical times will inspire you on this website. See the blog post with images here: http://etsymetal.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02 ... lenge.html

Nina Gibson created a heart pendant made from sterling silver spoon handles with garnet accents. 


Erga surprised us with a sterling silver cake tester.
