I put a shot out on facebook to 65 of my girlfriends youn and old i have had at different times of my life... So far a few are already sending one or more - i make simple jewelry for many years and watched a few tutorials so for now no fear!
I made a brooch bouquet for my June wedding this past year and it was a BIG HIT! It took be about 2 months to gather, wire, and put it together. I got a lot of donations from family but I also bought "lots" of jewelry on ebay. In all, it cost me about $200 to make. Here is a picture of mine.
