Finally Made a Tutorial!

Ok... not just ONE tutorial, but TWO!

I had been kicking the idea around in my head for a while, but well, you know how that goes.... procrastination is always first in line. Besides, it not only required clearly written, understandable instructions, but good, clear photographs as well. Photos taken by another party, as my hands would be busy weilding my tools of the trade.

So the first tutorial I made is for my Simple Stone Bangle. It is a no-solder bangle, that can easily have many styles from dark and rustic to shiny metal and bling sparkles! They are super easy to make, and look good just piled on, the more the merrier. Great stacking bracelets, if you ask me.

Anyway, enough talking eh? Wanna see? Ok....

The second tutorial I made is for my funky Cage Pendant. It's awesome for capturing memories... a stone found on a walk, shell on that seaside vacation, your Grandma's thimble, a small toy from your childhood, a cork from that bubbling bubble bath bottle (you thought I was going to say champagne, didn't you?)... This one requires very minimal soldering, and a little bit of torch work. But we all like playing with fire, right?

Here's some pictures:

Well, it's been good typing to all of you. It's been too long.
