Elizabeth's Exclusives on Etsy
	I'm a multi-layered jewelry designer. I only use natural gemstones such as peridot, amethyst, labradorite etc. Recently I've moved into metalsmithing and make my own sterling silver and gold filled earwires as well as hammering and melting metal as much as possible! Metal Stamping Crafty Tip To get a better grip on metal stamps wrap them in self sticking tape. This will not leave a residue on your stamps and you can get a better grip while whacking them with your hammer. A better grip on your stamps translates into straighter letters/designs.

Making Jewelry with Polymer Clay Crafty Tip If you are wire wrapping a polymer clay focal piece and you want to oxidize the wire, do so BEFORE wrapping the polymer clay piece. Otherwise, the odor of both liver of sulfur or a hard boiled egg will penetrate the polymer clay and leave you with a "stinky" finished product! :(

Bedizen Designs
	Unique copper jewelry by me, Jess. I love earrings and they have become my specialty. Many of my items feature natural components like leaves, twigs and stones. Most items are coated with a gloss finish to protect and prevent color change. Jewelry Making Crafty Tip Make sure to experiment with different products and natural materials. You might just stumble upon a technique or design that you hadn't expected, particularly when a bit of chemistry's involved. For example, a new adhesive I tried caused the metal to turn a beautiful shade of blue. What normally would have been a disaster, turned into one of my most popular items.
