Extra! Extra! Eni Oken has a new jewelry tutorial up that you can buy online. Go Get It Now!
It’s the Basket Weave Bezel in the Advanced Tutorials section. It’s only a few measly bucks, so there’s no excuse not to get it if you want to learn more about doing wire work.
It may sound a little odd for me to be pimping someone else’s jewely tutorials, but there’s a good reason. Eni does great tutorials. Period. And I’ve learned so much from her tutorials over the last couple of years that I’m more than happy to send you over there. Maybe she’ll make more if she sells more of the ones she’s done, and I’d love that!
Many of her tutorials, as with this Basket Weave Bezel tutorial, are for designs or techniques similar to ones that I have already figured out or come up with myself, but it’s well worth the couple of dollars to me because there’s always something more I learn from her tutorials. It may be a on that technique, or a seemingly small tip on wire work in general, but I always get something worthwhile from her tutorials. Those seemingly small tips can add up to dozens of hours saved, or headsful of hair not pulled out, over the course of a year. I highly recommend buying every single tutorial she has. And of course, grab the free ones too!
And while I’m talking about Eni’s tutorials, let me add this about all tutorials you get… Don’t share them or give them away, please! And for goodness sake, don’t go sell them yourself. Eni and the others who write tutorials for us and charge such small prices do a huge amount of work on them, and deserve to get paid for every single use of their tutorials. If you find yourself in a situation where you just have to share a tutorial, turn right around and go pay Eni for it. I’ve done that before, when I gave a friend who didn’t have net access a printed copy of one of Eni’s tutorials. It’s only fair. If we abuse their hard work and generosity in making tutorials for items we can sell once we learn the techniques, it’s bad karma and will eventually cause them to either stop doing it or start having to charge much higher prices. Respect your tutorial-makers, please.
