Jewelry-Making Fun at Eclectica

Yes, I'm trying to catch up on all my posts for March at the end of the month! Last Tuesday, my friend Kathi and I took the Riveted Textured Pendant workshop at Eclectica Beads. We learned how to punch holes in metal, use crimp tubes as rivets, stamp patterns and letters, and add a patina with liver of sulfur.

Tuesday also happened to be a free Make & Take day at Eclectica, so we also made a beaded necklace using vintage glass leaves and flowers, and I learned how to use crimp beads for actual crimping. A very productive evening over all!
