Hello ...

[Mystic]

Hi Michelle and may I add my welcome to you . I am reasonably new to jewellery, or to be true I am just taking it up again after an absence. I have found youtube to be a great place to give hints and there are alot of lessons in jewellery making of all types YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. some good and some not so good but I have found it very helpful. It won't hurt to take a look, just type in on search and see what pops up

You made me smile over my morning coffee!!

Thank you for the advice on the books I'm going to check them out after I have finished work. I looked at your work and I do like the chains you make - I dont know why I'm so fascinated with chain making but I think I'm going to make a start there along with the PMC work - I did pottery lessons once and the techiques seem to be similar but on a smaller scale.

To be truthful, I'd say most psychologists need a psychologist after working and dealing with other people's problems - so I doubt I'd be much use - I'm only joking I'm relatively sane and would be glad to help there is a lot of psychology behind sales as I'm sure you are aware. And I think I know what you mean about the analysing - but that's a good thing, keeps my mind ticking and stops me analysing myself for a change!!


I can't wait to get going (stupid work getting in the way!) I have got so many idea's but its frustrating because at the moment I need to practice and learn the basics before even knowing how to create my idea's.

Thanks again for the warm welcome - I think I'm going to like it around here.

Hi Michelle & welcome to the forum
I think chain making is an excellent way to start jewellery making and it's the way that I first became interested. It's a good way to get to grips with soldering and sooooo satisfying Plus, you don't need that much in the way of tools to make a chain. I made my first one armed with no more than wire, knitting needle, saw & 2 pairs of flat nosed pliers - after a couple of hours I'd made a chunky little bracelet that I still wear! Good luck & looking forward to hearing about sales psychology!!

Hi Michelle, welcome to the forum.

As one of the saner members on here, I would have to warn you about being taken in by some of the others on here. I know for a fact that at least one of them has a dungeon - combine that with chains and before you know it you've been sold off to slave traders never to be heard of again!

I'm having a good go - just laying down a smoke screen to start with - if you want to hide a tree, where do you hide it?
