Some Things I want to Learn how to do?
So my mind runs 90 miles an hour I find that I jump from one thing to the next and I have a long list of things that I want to learn for making jewelry. I am so in awe of the wonderful artists that are in this community and the awesomeness that they create. Here are a few things that I would love to learn how to do.

I have so many things I want to try, but first I have to get the basics down. I'm still pretty crappy at working with wire. But really I just want to move on to etching, soldering, using resin, metal patinas, and torch-fired enamels. Time is always an issue, plus there is that little voice inside that doubts my abilities to try these new techniques.
ReplyDeletei know exactly what you mean! i have to really hold myself back from buying new supplies :) though i'd really like to try Viking Knit and fortunately that wouldn't require anything new. there are a few bead stores near me that have basic classes, and a couple of Art centers but they're generally too expensive...but i've managed to learn quite a bit from free videos on Beaducation and YouTube.
ReplyDeleteI totally get where you are coming from. I would absolutely adore to learn how to work with clay, to etch, to enamel.....these things all seem just a little beyond my just attempting them at home! I did have my first ever go a lamp working the other day. The beads arrived in the post yesterday....my, but they are rubbish, and yet, I'm so proud! I hope you can find teaching venues for these skills you've listed. Having these abilities would surely only enhance your lovely jewellery, I hope We can bit pick up some new skills to stretch ourselves.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much Penny for putting my mind at ease. I thought I had a severe case of aging or something worse :) My mind never stops and there are just not enough hours... There are just so many exciting things to try.
