Hi Beaders,

How has the increase in metal prices affected your jewelry-making?  Have some of you been forced to concentrate on seed bead work or simply stringing?

I wanted to continue to grow in mastering some metalwork classes, but cannot afford the cost of metals, etc.

Anyone else going through this?

Thanks for sharing your insights into this...

Hum, not sure why noone has reponded to your post.

 Rising costs have not yet effected me because I purchased a bunch of wire and sterling supplies when they were cheaper.  Now when I go to re-order it may hurt a bit, but I will just have to raise my prices or find a different supplier.

 Good luck!
