Raw Materials for Matryoshka: Nesting Hollowforms

Here's you'll find the basic materials needed to complete the project as I do in this online course. Because the focus of this course is more on building forms and less about adding detail, keep in mind you can use additional/other materials (for embellishing, stringing, etc.) You may also substitute base metal for the silver.
Sterling Silver 6" Sheet, 22-Ga., Dead-Soft, Brushed Finish
6" x 1.25" is enough to create a three-tiered hollowform as I do in this course. Substitute brass or copper if you prefer.
Sterling Silver 1.45mm Seamless Tubing, Hard, 12" Length
One length of this tubing will get you through maaaaaany projects.
Sterling Silver 3.6mm Round Closed Ring
Optional jumprings to use as a bail for your pendant. This is the size I use in the course.
Silver Sheet Solder, 30-Ga., Easy
I recommend easy solder for attaching and/or closing your bail, and also if adding embellishments to your hollowforms.
