chebeI enrolled in Becky Stern's Jewelry Class on Instructables. The first couple of projects focus on beads, first with cord, and then with wire. Which are things I have done before but the projects looked cute. The second set of lessons focuses on sheet metal and soldering silver rings. Things I've always wanted to do but had no idea how to get started. I was so in.
Word of warning, while the class is free the materials are increasingly expensive. The sizes given in the materials lists don't always correspond to what's available here, so some of my details differ.

Silk bead thread, size 2 / 0.45mm, black.
