Learning the craft

Not long ago I discovered a passion for jewellery craft. I went to a class and since then have been buying components, beads and tools as well as looking up techniques online via crafting tutorials. The more you learn the more you want to know. My skills are quite basic but I want to improve and am hoping to learn how to make my own beads, make decorative knots, solder and sew beads. Below are pictures of the things I have made so far. All my bracelets, earrings and necklaces will be on sale at a later date when I have a shopping cart and shipping sorted out. I have named this blog "Beady Eyes" as this is what I will call my jewellery line. I would really welcome any comments or advice from other arts and crafts enthusiasts or from anyone who would like to buy anything I have made or request a custom order
