Aww thank you. Really I'm just a hobbyist who should spend more time studying then goofing off with beads and metal. Your beaded bib necklaces though just blow my mind! I'm looking at them and just going "how does this even...I don't know but I want to understand!".

Well, the seed bead stuff is pretty easy - needle, thread, beads, and lots of time. But the metal, how do you make all that awesome metal stuff??

It is way easier than it seems. The metal stampings are just silver plated brass so they're very mailable. For flat projects like the dragon's breath bracelet you just layer the individual stampings over one another and what you can't solder you glue (E6000 is my favorite adhesive). For pieces that need to be shaped or bent you use a hand tool like flat nose or bail making pliers and shape it until it fits. If you're interested in trying some great websites are vintagejewelrysupplies.com and artbeads.com.

That sounds amazing. If I ever move into a larger place and have room for more tools, I might invest in a metal-working studio... How did you make those awesome Dragon's Breath flowers??

Gosh I know the pain of tool storage. I could survive with half of the tools I have but I love the other half to much to do without. The Dragon's Breath Bracelet was WAY more simple than it looks. The frame stamping had a center that was exactly 14mm wide and the glass cabochon is 13mm wide so I just glued a flat stamping underneath it and put the stone on top. The same goes for the center piece I just layered one stamping over another glued down the stone and then added the angels on top.
