Toggles, Findings and Texture Plates

 

Make toggles and other findings to complement your unique jewellery pieces. Toggles can be used as closures but can also be used as the focal piece. A number of other jewellery findings will be discussed and demonstrated. Making photoploymer plates also will be demonstrated - this technique allows you to take almost any black and white image to create completely original texture plates.
