I really want to learn enameling. I also want to continue learning soldering; I manage it in class but really struggle with it at home, sigh.

Sandra said...

I too would love to see more on enameling and how to take great photos.

Thx.

enameling and metal clay are on my list for this year.. it's more of getting over a fear of the torch than anything.. love your pieces...

Honey from the Bee said...

I would like to learn Soutache, as that's one technique I have zero experience in. Not a new technique, but I'd like to get more better (!) at soldering.

I actually signed up for a two month class that starts in a week or so...lost wax casting! I'm so excited. It was offered through our adult education program at a local high school that has a fully outfitted jewelry making lab (through a hefty grant). Jump starting 2013 with some new skills.

Pamela said...

Thanks so much for the giveaway! The beads are beautiful. I plan to learn to incorporate beads into some baskets that I'm weaving.

PA said...

Would love to learn torch enamel & broken china jewelry. Am going to Adorn Me!in Houston & Bead Fest Santa Fe to learn even more things. Don't blog but I "followed" 3 ways: Facebook, Google, & email. Thanks for all the wonderful posts on this site; it's one I check EVERY day!

Enameling beads like the ones in your Belle Amoire piece. Those are gorgeous and fit in with a direction my husband and I are headed this year.

Happy new year to all!!
Being a "baby" in jewelry making, I am eager to learn everything there is out there :-)
I'd love to start with seed beading, although I admit it intimidates me a little
