IK,
I''m impressed; you are already doing such nice pieces and they don''t look like a beginner''s work. I second/third/fourth the suggestion that you can even offer your services on Etsy soon at the rate you are progressing.
I would really like to thank you for posting this. I''ve been looking for a hobby and I had no idea how to get into this. Thanks to JKT telling us to check with out community colleges I did and while my local one does not offer any classes the next county down does...so I just registered and I will be a driving on Mondays! Thank you!
Ha! I think we have a lot in common. I saw in your other thread that you were looking for rose cut diamonds, which I love, and I was just about to sign up for a jewelry making class in March too! Your work looks amazing, I can''t wait to see what else you come up with. Making the pieces yourself really makes you appreciate how long it takes to make something by hand, doesn''t it?
