Those areas are more forgiving when you are in the learning mode and tend to be less expensive. Also, I am very interested in soldering tutorials. Any additions you can make in those three areas would be appreciated. Anything that strengthens the "backbone" type of skills. You folks are doing a great job.

Each free tutorial has a list of tools and materials that you will need for the projects.<BR/><BR/>Watch the free tutorials all of the way through and see if the project is appealing.<BR/><BR/>You may also want to check out some beading magazines for ideas. Your local bead store or book store should carry them.<BR/><BR/>Have fun-<BR/>KateKatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10624976743316645421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-564606684888115172.post-4635543417353938992008-09-12T14:34:00.000-07:002008-09-12T14:34:00.000-07:00Hi Amy-<BR/>Stone setting will be in our metalsmithing series.
