More, More, More: Our 11 Best Wire Jewelry Making Tips–our #1 blog of 2013! |
|
Have we had fun in 2013 or what? We took wirework and wire coiling to great new heights, learned dozens of ways to add color (and texture) to metal, mastered jewelry photography, and tackled some advanced techniques like mokume gane and stone cutting.
We've had visits from great jewelry artists like Susan Lenart Kazmer and Gail Crosman Moore, continued to learn from our favorite Lexi Erickson, and slowly but surely marked jewelry-making goals off our list!
There's a lot of fun stuff already on tap for 2014, but meanwhile, here's a look back at Jewelry Making Daily's top 13 posts during 2013.
