Notes from Chris Episode I love seeing how artists make money in different ways.
When people really liked the bracelets, she listed them on etsy, since it was easy to get designs out there and available to buyers. Designs kept coming to her, and she got better and better at it. She then decided to build her own website using Squarespace. Eventually, she converted it to an ecommerce site, which allowed her to save money on processing and listing fees.

Since I am just starting out with stamping metal… I am only doing initials here. As I get more experience I will show you how to make whole words and such, but the simple initial… was so easy! I just laid the small metal blank on the steel pad which had a towel under it and taped it down. I made sure that the part I was stamping was exposed.
Next I took the stamp I wanted to use and carefully placed it on top of the metal blank. With a hammer and a steady hand I pounded the stamp 2 times per letter. You may be able to get away with one pound of the hammer, but mine needed two to get a good impression.

Just make sure not to lift the stamp up at all until you are done hammering. Once the impressions are made use a sharpie or other black permanent marker to mark inside the letter. Rub off the excess ink with a damp paper towel. String the stamped jewelry on a chain and add a charm if you want. I fully support their efforts to fight for freedom.
