totally disappointed I bought this video hoping to be able to watch and learn. There are no close ups. Close ups are of finish products only. Steps by step images are much too far to actually see what she is doing. An individual is better off buying a book with images at least you can see a close up of a "how to image" and what the step should look like. She does give you lots of info but video is defintely not for beginners. I did have a friend who is jewelry maker watch the video and she was not impressed. I must say I was totally disappointed. Not all what I expected from a how to video.
