Let me know how it works for you and what you like or don't like. Does it make sense? I'm a work in progress here and welcome constructive criticism. The photography could be more consistent but it's not awful.

Earring Wire Tutorial
It's been a busy week - Aren't they all in the Spring? I'm way behind on my On-Line class at TAO (Teaching Art On-Line). I need to be into the second module and I just now completed the first one....I think. What we've been doing is to work on a down loadable PDF to give away. Since I make my own earring wires I thought it would be as good a place as any to start. I've taught - a lot - and always given away handouts when I teach. I mean why make everyone try and take notes when they want to be concentrating on the project? So I create a decent handout they can write details on but they don't have to try and write the entire lesson. But, this is my first PDF. I've uploaded it - and universe willing (which basically means I've got my fingers crossed I did this right) you can download it and it's free.
Cool! The only thing I would suggest is a close-up of the finished earwires with the bead accented ones too, so people can see what they look like.
ReplyDeleteGreat job and have fun with the rest of your course!
I think it's well done, Sharon. I see only one point that might be a little confusing to a novice. It's at the beginning, "File these ½” ends flat."
ReplyDeleteI know you meant file the end of the wire flat, but to me it sounds like you're asking us to file all of the ½ inch area.
And I agree with Janel...adding a pic of the wire with a bead you mentioned might be good too.
Well done and thank you!
Thank You so much for leaving comments. I really need an unbiased eye to pick up things like that.
ReplyDeleteI will make those additions to the master copy and post some finished wires with beads on them in the next couple of days.
Lela you are right - a novice might be confused by that and I will adjust it too.
Thank You, I really appreciate it!
