But first - I made a jig for the ear-wires, something I've been meaning to do for ages. Hopefully now all my ear wires will be near identical.. That's the idea anyway.
I have also been practising some new chain link designs, celtic in style.
Both the jig and the chain links were inspired by online tutorials on Andrew Berry's 'at the bench' website. You have to pay for the tutorials, but there are a few free ones as a taster, so you can see if you like his style. I have definitely learned stuff from the few I have watched - there are currently over 280 different tutorials.
