I can't do one earring by itself... I have to always alter each in every step to mirror them semetrically... And those are very pretty. good job. Love your spunky statement ring too... And to be clear... I love your unique jewelry style not fancy back drops... And I bet your farm cottage is really cool.

I know Jill, it's so hard to try an replicate an earring, especially when mirroring it! Your comment as a whole brought the biggest smile to my face! So thank you for that!😊LOL @ my farm cottage being cool! It definitely is NOT COOL! 🏚

Hi Linda!!! You tell that wire who the boss is😉. Beautiful earrings and the live was great-you did a fantastic job!!! Hope you have a great week!!! I’m so sorry about your Mom, with the anniversary of her death coming up!!😢. You can only try with your sister so take comfort in the fact that you have reached out and tried-it’s her loss!!!!!!!! Big hugs to you

Hi Jennifer, LOL @ tell the wire who's the boss! I'm so happy you enjoyed the Live, I'ts the first one I have done that I was happy with! I can't believe next month is the first anniversary of my Mum's passing, a year has gone so quickly! I have given up on my sister, she has it stuck in her brain that it's my fault we don't talk! when in fact it was her that started it all by not helping me look after my other sister when she was only had days to live! But as they say "you can choose friends but you can't choose family" take care Jennifer huugggs xx

Hi Linda I like to work in copper too and have used liver of Sulphur to patina. What technique do you use to polish ? I have arthritis and am thinking of using a dremel because hand polishing is difficult 😊 love your designs and style. Totally like the way you teach and how to fix problems along the way.

[@GumnutLaneJewellery]

Hi Kelly, Yes I also use LOS to patina, I use a dremel for two reasons, No mess and it;s a lot quicker! I think you would find using a dremel to be a lot gentler on your hands especially with the arthritis! I use the silicone discs, they are the best in my opinion! I'm thrilled you like my teaching style, when I hear that, then I know I'm on the right track! So thank you!👍🌻❤
