i recommend bill jordan's dvd instructional guide to recreating a traditional-style sailor valentine. click here for the dvd web page.i went to the 06 philly shell show and was lucky enough to speak to bill jordan while there. bill is a true enthusiast and is always willing to share and inspire. before i met bill, i had visited his website and was inspired by his watch pendants—which are spectacular when you see how actually small these pendants are and how well they are composed. bill has a gift and i was a really gawky fan at the time—wait, you are the BILL JORDAN?!!!! i can't wait to tell my husband and kids i met the BILL JORDAN!! i think i actually made him shake my hand. and as far as that disclosure goes, i found my self tearing up while i toured the philly shell show. so much great work in one spot! previously, it had been all web pages and book pictures—but seeing the actual valentines in person was really something wonderful.
bill and a few of the winners of the sanibel show (every march, and no, i haven't been, yet) were featured on martha stewart's website. they won't allow me to embed the video, but here is the link to the site so you may view for yourself.
