I have a show coming up where I'll now have some new product to put out with beautiful new ear wires on my earrings and new clasps on my necklaces! I did them before but now I really know how to do them better. Thank you so much Wendy Jo, you're a wonderful teacher and I hope to see you again in another class at some point!
