  • Friday Highlights from the Subscriber Gallery: Round 2, Jill's choice

    Time flies! I'm up again to choose three favorite posts from our online Subscriber Gallery. I'm going for a theme here this week that I like to call, Keep on a-Rockin' it (work that incorporates some kind of stone in its design). From the Wire/chain mail gallery : "Basia Mille"...

  • Merry All the Time (Hollow Bead)

    I had a commisioned trade with a friend fro this one - she gave me free rein and lots of time - I'm very glad she did! I was stuck after the two halves in the second shot, and it took me a while to work out what I wanted for the center, as well as how to achieve it. The finished bead is 2.25in. by...

  • Re: How do you do it?? Respect for wire wrappers

    I think this is a dang good start! Very neat for a first try, and that is saying something. Most Firsts in wire are a tangly mess in one way or another. Perhaps the fiddly bits are what dampen your enthusiasm. I say go for some very simple fully wrapped rings - the ones that teach you spirals and what...

  • Re: EYEBALL Wire Wrap Pendant

    Pretty good for your first time, Matthew. With all your experience, I'm sure you'll figure out a way to close the gaps and neaten weave on the next one! I'll second the vote for VanDyke's taxidermy - The quality is fantastically eery. I have one of Bobbi's rings - they are a perfect...

  • Re: Matte finish on wire?

    Hmm, I think I'd just take a Scotchbrite pad, fold it around the wire, and pull the wire through it a few times. They usually give me a nice matte finish. Good luck! ~Addie~

  • Re: looking for 18K rose gold soft wire

    Hello, Based on the previous posting I checked out Pasternak Findings and made a purchase. I just received my first order of rose gold wire from Pasternak and I am very unhappy with the quality. I purchased three gauges of dead soft gold-fill. One of the gauges is by far the worst wire I have ever had...
