I’ve been dabbling in jewelry making for many years. Nothing crazy, though I’d love to learn how to solder. Been to local bead shows and still have stuff I bought there, like sterling charms, intricate sterling clasps (some with stones), cowry shells, beads, etc. But I always get stumped when trying to think of a design. I have a decent size selection (maybe 6 full size plastic bead bins, then about 4-6 smaller bins, all full). And I’ll try one of your tutorials but for some reason mixed order of colored beads looks much better on yours than mine. Don’t know why I see it that way (well kinda – childhood trauma) but it’s frustrating! I’m gonna try a few of yours again to see if I can be less “restricted” when making it. Should be a relaxing time, right? 🙂
