		<description><![CDATA[My plans for 2012 involve making more jewellery (duh). I&#8217;ve got some neat ideas for using up a few of my seaglass pieces, which I&#8217;m going to document as I make them. Look out for glorious sparklies and subtle lustre. Failing that, look out for another helpful booklet or two on obscure techniques and unusual [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fireandhammers.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3881447&amp;post=1043&amp;subd=fireandhammers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
