FOUR YEARS OF KINDNESS, COMMUNITY + EDUCATION. Everyone is welcome here, everyone is worthy. I have been posting jewelry making tips from our wonderful community since February 2018, everyday. When I see all your smiling faces, when I hear stories of people connecting in real life. When I hear that someone is taking the dive and quitting their day job. You all make it worth it. I couldn’t take everyone due to tagging limits but if you see yourself or a friend let me know in the comments and thank you for being so supportive of me. It’s been a challenging 6 months for me, but I feel the love and support on the daily from all of you! #jewelrymakingcommunity #metalsmithsociety
