    OMG - You are SOOOO getting it!! Don't be hard on yourself
    I make jewellery almost every day, and often ALL day and have been doing so for FOUR years (+ as a hobby for a lot longer than that).

    Give yourself permission to take your own time, you do a day job too, so you've hardly got any hours under your belt yet!

    Just when we are all sick with jealousy at your skill with pmc you go and hit us with another........AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Lovely, lovely, lovely!! The texturing is really effective isn't it - sets it off a treat!

    I know what you mean about wobbly dichros...are you willing to reveal a little more of yourself...? ...are you fusing, grinding then flashing it again??!!! (I even laughed as I typed that!!) ...or to put it more bluntly...when do you grind?? ....I feel the censors mark getting ever closer!!.

    Lol - EmmaRose it's not that big (I bagged the utility room when we moved)
    Solunar Silver Studio Hope you're better soon, I didn't mean to make you feel ill
    Yes I'm fusing, grinding then flashing it again, unless I'm setting it in a bezel in which case I sometimes miss out the last step
    bustagasket - beads are good, I started with beads too but found I preferred bashing metal and working with flames!!!

    That's lovely!

    I've always liked Diachronic glass because to be quite frank I am amused by shiny bright colours much like a child or a magpie really

    Su, don't be hard on yourself, please! I have only just progressed from silver plated bead jewellery myself and am finding it incredibly hard! I have twice tried to make myself a ring lately and fuffed it up completely. My OH on the other hand can do it first time... why? because he has worked with sheet metal in the past! It really, honestly is practice (despite me sulking because I can't do it and he can) and one day I will be able to do it too.

    I know you are like me, you look at other peoples work and thing 'I;m never going to be able to make something that pretty' but you will and you probably already DO make pretty things, you just don't think they are... just like me... I've lost count how many times I have threatened to throw everything in the bin and NEVER make jewellery ever again because my stuff is rubbish. However, you know and I know we'll still be doing it in a years time and we will be so much better and people will be looking at your work thinking 'I'll never make anything as nice as that'.

    As someone told me once, when you look all around you and there's nothing to aspire to then you are lost because you will no longer push yourself nor advance yourself and you will become stale!

    HUGE

    Sorry for the hijack Nic!
