It's week 4 of the Jewelry Making Mojo Challenge! I hope you've had a chance to jump in and have been inspired to create some amazing jewelry over the last three weeks. I love seeing and reading about your creative adventures in our Facebook group.
Your Assignment:
Make some findings and use them in your jewelry. It can be earwires, clasps or chain. You can make them out of anything - anything. Wire, metal, beads, seed beads, polymer clay, metal clay - whatever is calling your name, jump in and give it a try!
Get creative, have fun and don't forget to share your work with us.
Tips for Making Your Own Findings:
Practice, practice, practice. Plan to make several pieces before you have one that is ready to use in your jewelry. Practice with copper wire if you are making wire findings before moving on to silver. Copper is a very soft metal, brass is much harder - keep that in mind when working.
