Since I’m traveling in France this month, I thought I’d provide a post on French inspired jewelry techniques. All 5 of these techniques can be altered if you aren’t into All Things French, but this blog post will hopefully get your brain turning. Maybe it will inspire you to do something like; All Things Yoga, All Things Momma, or All Things Foodie. Who knows? Just be inspired and create!!
