Soldering atempts and new earrings

I´ve been spending my weekend struggling with my torch. Here´s some of the result. Some of it I won´t show :)

I´m proud of the sterling guitar pick for my nephew who´s in a band. The jasper pendant.... hm....I´ll keep out of all close ups. Soldering the bezel to the backplate wasn´t totally succesful, but it´s ok.

The swirly earrings - Rose - are listed in my Etsy shop though. Because they are made in my familiar technique and totally ok.! :)

AUDREY - swirly pearl earrings

Romantic = check

Swirly = check

White pearls = check

Oxidized = check

Yepp, they do look like I´ve made them. Feels like I´m caught making the same design over and over again. But I guess it´s like that sometimes. Certain designs need your attention for a while before you feel finished with them.

Made it to Etsy frontpage today!

The things that make you happy! I thought my days at the frontpage of Etsy was over, since I´m not that active anymore. But look what lovely friends send me today - a screen cap of the frontpage with my Little Mermaid necklace.

Still celebrating.... :)

New tutorial - Find your signature style!

I have finally written down the step-by-step method I´ve been teaching in Stockholm - FIND YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE!

About the tutorial

This tutorial describes a step-by-step method that will help you find your own signature style. It is also very useful when building collections.

The jewelry making world is ful of fun techniques and beautiful materials. It´s easy to get lost and never find your own style when options are unlimited. But with this method you will gather all your loose ends together and finally find your own path.

When I´ve tought classes this method it is always a reward to see the processes this method starts.

But remember this instruction only offers a path to follow. Only you know where it will lead.

Material needed:

• a nice sketch book
• piles of magazines
• catalogues from various stores

Tools:

• scissors
• glue
• your head and heart
• pens to write and colour with

You can buy the tutorial either at my Etsy-shop: www.suzyqjewelry.etsy.com or at www.jewelrylesson.com
