This looks so fun! I did some etching with Riki and Diana, but haven't done it at home (even though I have the etchant). What materials come in the kit? Thank you! Have a great weekend!

Hi Jackie-
Hope your day is going well! The kit will include two brass cuffs a piece if sheet metal all the fabric needed for the fabric cuff and embellishments for the brass cuff. I will post a photo this week that was silly of me not to include it. Gave a lovely weekend!

I'm really excited about this class; I saw your article in Handcrafted Jewelry and there was also an etched bangle on the cover of Belle Armoire that I loved....your instructions were so good but I'd much rather be shown how to do this, than read it...! Loving your other class; everything is so clear and concise and it's very easy to follow!

[Kristen R]

Hi Kim-
I am so very happy you are enjoying the bangle class! I am thrilled to offer my new etching class as like you I enjoying seeing how something is done rather than reading about it. If you are speaking of the latest BAJ issue that would be my BF Ruthies cuff which is even lovelier in person. Have a lovely day and thank you again for the comment!

yes it's the recent issue; it's just an amazing bracelet. BTW, I just opened my stir stix/cups box today since the resin class is tomorrow....thanks so much for the copper bezel, that was so kind of you! I'm aging my metal today so I can pop that in there too!

[Kristen R]

The bracelet is great Ruth was just here and we had so much fun playing and creating we have been chatting about the idea of doing a class together in the future why we did not do this when we were only 7miles from each other I am not sure.

Glad you have your goodies ready the resin portion is great fun. I felt so badly that I left the cups out that was really bad on my part. Send me photos of your work if you would like to share!
