LUV this Tutorial! I have this tute! Eni, thanks for all of the beautiful & affordable tutorials that you have shared over the years with the many folks wishing to learn this fine art! Thanks! Juli ;)
This is BY FAR the most valuable tutorial I have ever purchased. The netting technique can be used in so many ways that I find it difficult to NOT incorporate it into every piece! :-} Thanks for the easy to understand tutorials Eni. I have two binders full and can tell I'm probably going to have to begin another quite soon!

This is the first tutorial I bought. My pendant turned out so beautiful my friends couldn't believe I actually made such a beautiful piece since I only consider myself intermediate at best. The directions and pictures were so clear and concise, it seemed no fail. Thank you for such a great venue for those of us fairly new to jewelry design and creation.
Could I use this technique w/sea glass? I'm wondering because the glass is irregular if I'd be able to secure it in place w/this technique. Thanks in advance.
Oops, pls. ignore my last post...I see on the materials list that sea glass is listed...thanks.
Very good tutorial, but I have sausage fingers. Very difficult for me, and so far all of my attempts look terrible. At least I know how to do it! It's the only tutorial I can find that wraps whole gemstones! Thank you very much for the knowledge.
Dear Eni, is it possible to coil first on a straight wire then frame the cabochon? My attempt at coiling on the wire and sliding it onto the frame resulted in some kinks. Thanks!!!
Yes, it is very possible to coil on a straight wire, but you must be very careful when bending the wire, or else you might squish the coils or separate them.

Thanks, Eni, I figured there must be a reason why your tutorial suggested bending the wire into a frame first and coiling the wire after that.
http://ilmare.ARTFIRE.comAlso, if you coil on a straight wire, you will not allow for the net to conform to the shape of the cab, which is fundamental when using irregular cabs.

Very nice, my mom has stuff like this at home.
How do I pay again for this tutorial? I bought one and gave a copy to my brother for Christmas. Please tell me how to pay for that copy. He does not have any means of getting online to buy it. Thanks!
