Tutorial Tuesday

I saw this idea somewhere else and thought it was neat AND thought it would benefit others, so I am swiping it!



So for the first Tuesday Tutorial, I'll point to my own tute - its for Tube Rivets:





Tube Rivet Tutorial

The tutorial won't show you how to make these earrings, just how to create rivets with tubing such as the tube rivet holes at the top of these earrings, where the earwires are.

Cehck back next Tuesday for another tutorial!

Collaboration

This pendant (or it may become a brooch) is special to me because my 19 yr old daughter helped design it. I had the two stones picked out and had made bezels for them but didn't really have a clear idea how I wanted to put them together. so I had my two children - ages 19 and 6 draw some ideas for me. What we ended up with is greatly inspired by my daughters drawing. This is a blue lace agate and some other agate I think. Set in sterling.

But don't feel bad for my son - here is a pendant he totally designed last year:

(had a little trouble with the 'x' part - but its still fun!
