first things first.

everything i learned about jewellery making in high school went OUT THE FREAKING WINDOW this semester.

well, maybe not everything.

I thought I would be one of the people with the least experience...I thought everyone would be so advanced!

BUT NO. Turns out I had more exposure to jewellery than anyone else (didn't even help me, really).

Some of the things I learned

1) You still have to do stuff to your piece after you tumble it
2) There are different kinds of flux
3) Solder isn't pre cut

I can't even look at the things I made in high school...like my Byzantine chain? Piece of crap. Bezel set fool's gold chunk on a band ring? Even bigger piece of crap.

Oh man oh man.
