Hi everyone,

I am brand new to this post and to making jewelry, but I love, love, love, both.  I am struggling a little with the teaching myself aspect of jewelry making, but I am sooo proud when I accomplish a piece of jewelry.  I am looking forward to meeting you all and learning from the pros.  I've only made a few pieces so far, but I find myself a little overwhelmed with where to start.  I've been accumulating supplies for awhile now and I am so happy that this does not have to be an overly expensive hobby.  It's great to meet you all and I look forward to getting to know you.

Welcome,

This is a great place to pick up tips on jewelry making as is the BeadStyle magazine. Also check out online retail sellers like Fusion Beads, they have a great library of tips and tutorials.
