Hi from Sweden!

[SilverBlueberry]

Hi everyone! I'm an amateur jewelry artist from Sweden and found this forum when I was ordering supplies.

I currently work mostly with precious metal clay, but I'm in the middle of a course in silversmithing and I definitely want to continue with that too. I love the textures you can make with metal clay, and I also love to use precious and semi-precious stones. Check out my Etsy shop to see my jewelry (seller: SilverBlueberry).

Besides jewelry making I would normally work as a scientist (biochemist) but as a lot of others the economic crisis hit the company I was working for hard and now I'm looking for jobs. It's good to have a positive creative hobby while doing that. :)

Hi Esmeralda and :welcome: to our forum. OOh your'e from Sweden.. nice to have another member from abroad, we've already got some members from Atlanta Georgia, but Sweden is a first! Lucky you, being on a silversmithing course, you'll have to tell us all about it. ;)

I had a quick look on your etsy shop and your necklaces, especially, have lots of texture, which I like. Looking to hearing from you.

awww a Swedish mother [] I used to work with a lovely lady who was Swedish and not only was she lovely, but judging from the photos, so was her country. Its always useful having an extra language or two, isn't it.

I found your shop on Etsy, love all the natural leaves.
There's a section on your profile where you can pop Album pictures
and you can put your shop in your signature too ;)

Hi Esmeralda - can't do any of that Swedish stuff. It seems such a complicated language!

But, welcome to the forum. :~:

I love the round leaf and turquoise pendant in your shop, where the leaf has been press into the clay.

Hi Esmeralda :~:

I joined a couple of months ago and everyone is lovely and has helped me out with some fantastic advice.

Welcome and I hope you enjoy !

[SilverBlueberry]

Thanks everyone! Didn't expect that many replies, and some (okay, one) in swedish too! :) I joined this forum because I can't find a similar one in Sweden and some of the forums there are dead, too. I like this one already. :)
