Thursday is the new Wednesday, did you know? According to the new bylaw, you might have heard about this one... Okay, to be honest, we are late with the post... But doesn't that make it more exciting?! I bet it does, so here we go, the long-awaited links:

This is one MEGA link to see what's out there in the world of lasercut jewellery and hunt for ideas, materials and shapes.
