Thank you, Belinda!

Welcome, Mara! So glad to meet you and have you here! 🙂 About drilling sea glass, here is how jewelry artist Shirley Graves does it: Drilling Beach Glass.

I hope this helps! 🙂

Thank you, Patricia! And thanks for sharing the pliers that make wirework easier for your fingers – I’m sure other jewelry artists here will appreciate your recommendation.

Thank you, Mallory! Yes, you can do a variety of artistic metal effects on wire – oxidizing, patinas, etc.

Whenever you wonder whether a technique will work with a particular type of component, here’s the best thing to do:

First do a test run on a small scrap or sample of your component (in this case, on a scrap of the wire you’ll be using). Then you can see how the technique will (or won’t) work on the sample, without ruining your actual jewelry piece. Another benefit of doing the test run on a scrap first – you’ll probably discover some things about the technique that will help you get better results when you do the technique on your actual component!

I hope this helps, and I would love to see what you create as you explore these possibilities! 🙂

My pleasure, Gabi! 🙂

You’re very welcome, Christine! 🙂

Thanks, Lynda! And wishing you a creative year ahead! 🙂

Thanks for your lovely comment, Catherine – you’re right, this ring is easy, and I’d love to hear how yours turns out if you decide to make one of these! 🙂
