Art Jewelry Boot Camp: Balled Head Pin Alternatives

So how have you been enjoying our first challenge? Today I wanted to share with you a fabulous resource on youTube, the wonderful videos of Nancy LT Hamilton!

If you haven't checked out her videos, I highly encourage you to do so. On a variety of metalsmithing topics, Nancy walks you through step by step in a relaxed, funny, and highly skilled way. If you've been browsing our challenge topics, you'll notice that there are quite a few who used the balled headpin as a cold connection and/or rivet, so I thought you would enjoy seeing this video!


Nancy posts new videos on all different techniques often, so be sure to subscribe to her youTube channel and visit her website for a variety of resources and to see her magnificent work!
