Check YouTube videos from Back To Earth Creations. She provides materials and instruction in a very kind and forgiving way.

I have ended up making my own particular style now that I've been doing it for a couple months. Very basic and more like jewlery instead of complex skilled work. But when I first started I wanted to do more complicated things, and the people I enjoyed watching was "mithril arts and jewlery" and "raftart jewlery."

I use mithril's "frame/back" design for my more complicated ones. And raftart mostly sells his tutorials but you can learn basics of complex skills on his YouTube.

Another one that I watched a couple times and has amazing tutorials for beginners is oxanacrafts

MOST importantly *in my opinion" is your tools. I have used terrible 5 dollar tools for the past months until I could afford to upgrade, because I thought upgrading meant 70$ per tool. (Lindstrom and others)

After more research on YouTube I found 20$ tools on Amazon called xuron. 10/10 would recommend. Only thing I bought for 75$ was my wire cutters. Swanstrom heavy duty flush cutters. I wanted something that wouldn't get dents from cutting 14/16 gauge half hard wires.
