    Default Making a pendant...

    Thank you Frans - it's really helpful to see the different stages (and in what order) a piece goes through - I can imagine when you're wrapped up in making something, it must break the flow to stop and take a photo - but it is much appreciated.

    Thank you angmc, Sally and Josef1. The process is what interests me but I am no photographer as I shake too much and battle with the focus.
