Is anyone into Jewelrymaking?
One thing that I love to do when I have time is to make jewelry. I wanted to know if anyone else likes to make jewelry in their spare time?

Re: Is anyone into Jewelrymaking?
I've started to make pendants out of clay. I hope to make something nice enough that I would like to wear...but it hasn't happened yet. I'm in the experimental stage.

Re: Is anyone into Jewelrymaking?
I do. I'm an intermediate-level metalsmith. I focus now on mixed media, sustainable and fairly made items, recycled and repurposed components, things like that. I don't do a lot with beads unless I know where they are sourced from...most semi-precious stones come from India and China and are made in deplorable conditions. My metal of choice is Argentium silver - a recycled, USA produced sterling silver.

I've taken a couple classes on jewelry design. I also like to make pendants from sea glass I've found at the beach.
