il faut de la patience

yes,  I have been told before from a jewelry teacher that you need patience for making jewelry.

so this is the reason.

I was a little too anxious, polishing a piece with a chain and got the chain tangled in a hand tool I was using. 

there was so much torque that the chain was twisted into a clump.  I'm glad that it was just the chain, and not my fingers twisted in the machine.......

my 8 inch chain became only about 6 inches........

so, I made a bracelet for myself to remind myself that I do need patience!
