Welcome to Jewelry Making for Beginners

Beads for Jewelry Making

I have always loved jewelry--gold, silver, beaded jewelry--all kinds.  I love necklaces and pins, bracelets and earrings.  To me jewelry always completes your look.  And jewelry can be passed down between the generations so that you can have a piece of your past, like your great-grandma's pearl necklace, that can still be worn in today's day and age, because good pieces of jewelry are timeless.

There are many great jewelry makers in the world and it truly is an art form.  The jewelry that is popular today is more ecclectic and vibrant than ever before with elaborate pieces that hang down the front of your bodice in necklaces, large earrings that trail below your shoulders, and large colorful pins that really catch your eye.  Almost anything goes, with such a large variety in style and beading.

Because of my love of art and jewelry, it seemed a natural progression for me to start making jewelry on my own.  I have just begun and already I am passionate about it.  There are so many beautiful and fantastic projects I have in mind to make, it almost overwhelms me.  But it is harder than it looks, as I have discovered...although not so hard that even I can't learn to make jewelry that I can be proud to wear (and to give as gifts as I am planning to do this Christmas!)

In this blog, Jewelry Making for Beginners, I want to share my jewelry making experiences with you.  As I am a beginner jewelry maker, I am sure that if you are starting too, we will have lots to share -- tips and new techniques we can learn together, as well as sharing the beautiful projects we come up with.

Join me on this blog, Jewelry Making for Beginners, and let us make the world sparkle a little more with our unique jewelry creations!
