Updates, Tutorial membership and online workshop!

Well, it's been quite the roller-coaster ride these last couple months, and definitely a hot minute since I've last left a post here in my blog. 

Since I've been quite entranced by participating in the live chats in my Facebook group, all those tricky topics I like to cover in posts are preemptively discussed during chats, so I often find myself, believe it or not, with little to write about. But I'm hoping to change that in the coming weeks! Lots have happened, there's tons to share, and I have a feeling the writer's bug will hit me square in the face once more. 

But first, I'd like to give a huge shout-out to all you wonderful folks who visited with me on my Facebook business page a couple weeks ago and shared in my 15k Likes Facebook giveaway, which was 12 hours of phenomenal fun. You've not only made the experience fantastic, but also the journey getting there and I'm not being modest when I say I couldn't have done it without your support. 

Also, there's a boat load of stuff coming up that I have to share! First, later this month (August 16th) retired tutorials will be visiting my storefront once again, for two weeks. There will be a coupon code released all over social media (and I'll be sure to post it in the shopfront as well) good towards the purchase of these retired lessons. So if you've had hopes for the return of a particular design, keep an eye out because they're coming back! 

Second, September 1, 2019 marks the release of the second annual Tutorial Membership! The membership will only be available for purchase during the month of September, and you can read all about it by clicking the link highlighted above, or check the page beneath the "Learn to Wire Wrap" tab. If you have any questions regarding this massive tutorial discount program, don't hesitate to leave them below in the comments. Also, feel free to email me any time at nicole@nicolehannajewelry.com and I'll do my best to address any questions or concerns you may have. 

And last, but certainly not least, October will bring to you an online workshop for my multi-stone pendant techniques! This workshop will include a two-stone PDF tutorial, a 1.5 hour three-stone video tutorial and a full-length, no cuts, video tutorial for a four stone design! The videos are designed for you to follow the process, no necessarily the exact design, so exact tools and materials are not listed, as wires are cut experimentally. 

You'll get to see how I create the bezels, attach stones together, layer with accent weaves, handle wire shortages or overages and deal with frustrations that might arise from unplanned designs. This workshop will appear as a purchase option in my storefront in October, and will grant you access to a link including the PDF and videos, for immediate access and download. The workshop will be priced at $99 and will be available for purchase through the month of October only! And don't forget... if you purchase the membership in September, you'll have your member's coupon code to use towards the purchase of the workshop! My email will also always be open to any questions or for trouble-shooting during your creative process while creating your multi-stone projects. 

But wait, there's more! Since the coming months are jammed packed with goodies, there likely will not be another Finish It! Design Challenge scheduled this year. Instead, during my Facebook group live chats, I'll be starting a project during the chat and choosing a name from the comments to receive the unfinished piece. This individual will then be tasked with completing the design using their own creative voice and vision! The first of these Finish It! Giveaways was a great success and I enjoyed seeing the completed project (which will be shared in the Facebook group).

I've laid a lot at your feet, so I'm going to head off, binge watch horror movies on Netflix and do some video editing! Have a fabulous day, everyone, and stay creative!
