Roman Fibulae

 I made these fibulae at Pennsic in a class taught by Baroness Gina Dragoni from Ealdormere.  These were fun and easy.  Even during a hail storm!


The style we will be doing

My original choice of beads - I decided against the green dangle.  The aluminum wire was pre-heated (hardened) for us.

The beads are captured


Starting the second one

Large holed beads on the end were the bane of most of the class

Starting the hook 



Twist the end to capture the pin

Baroness Gina used her portable sander to sharpen the ends for us instead of us taking forever with sandpaper

My finished pins.
