Volume 6, Number 1

ON THE COVER:
Forged Hearts by Linda Larsen.

 

CORRECTIONS:

In the February/March 2010 issue, on page 10, the middle photo with Deryn Mentock’s Web site, Something Sublime, actually features a piece from Jean VanBrederode. Please visit Jean’s Etsy site at http://www.etsy.com/shop/CharmdImSur to see more of her great work.

In the February/March 2010 issue, on page 49, Spiral Locket by Mary Tucker, the last sentence of Step 1 should read “Use flat nose pliers to spiral eight and a half times.” We apologize for the error.
