Kinetic Butterfly Ring

In this course you will learn to fabricate a moving, mechanical butterfly. It is fun to make and addictive to play with.

I will introduce you to some new materials and techniques that will expand you jewelry making skills.

The course includes 18 videos showing me making the ring in real time. There is also a step-by-step slideshow with close-up details of the project and written instructions as well. Supply, tool and other resources are also included.

Recommended for advanced -beginners and above...sawing, soldering and drilling skills needed.
