Hi all! You've asked me what were the worst mistakes I've made when staring out with jewelry metalsmithing. Today I'll share some of them with you! In this video I will focus on the technical mistakes, but if you're interested in hearing about other ones, more connected with running small business, then let me know! I will happily make video part two! We all make mistakes. It's completely normal and, honestly, I think making mistakes is absolutely necessary to grow! So don't worry if you make mistakes. Don't think of this as a "failure", don't take it personally. Learn from it and move on ❤️
