Have you ever wanted to know how [personal profile] elisem (Elise Matthesen or LionessElise) makes her wandering wire jewellery?

She's just started a Kickstarter to fund making videos of her methods and process, in an accessible long-term format. (Including done-by-competent-humans captioning)

Pledge options start at $1 (one dollar, not a typo), and backing at any level (including that one) gets you access to the videos for a year. (You can also pick a higher number, of course.) After that year, they'll be available to everyone for free.

There are of course some excellent jewellery and other related perks on offer. She also has some nifty stuff in mind as stretch goals as needed. (I am indeed the Jenett who is her Keeper of Numbers and Money, noted at the bottom.)

She's doing this Kickstarter partly because increasing health issues limit the chances for future teaching (I mean, beyond the current general circumstances) and because, as she says in the video, sharing this stuff is a huge part of the cool part, because of seeing how people make it their own and do new things with it.

If you want more examples of her style of work, here's her Etsy shop.

And here's a Twitter thread with more about some of the backer perks. Please pass along to people you know who might be interested, if you are at all inclined!
I got two completely delightful stories, both about helpful people finding their places (so, y'know, my Hufflepuff heart is right here for this, especially at the moment.)
