I've always been afraid to ask money for my jewelry because, to me, it's just "not quite there", ya know?<BR/><BR/>Anyway...last week I found out about the Crimper tool AND the wire wrapping tool thingy and went, "Ah-HA! That's exactly what I need to make things just right!" <BR/><BR/>So...I do plan on getting both VERY soon...like this week or weekend. Hopefully, I'll be able to remember to come back and let you know how it goes!Laurihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13738480269575391608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-677202456518127806.post-35615927838543125122008-05-14T18:19:00.000-05:002008-05-14T18:19:00.000-05:00This crimp tool is also good for 'tucking in' the wire ends when making a wire wrapped dangle. After snipping the wire as close as you can, you use the rounded part of the crimper (the slot at the tip of the tool) and close it around the tail to tuck it in close to the shaft.Cindy Lietz, Polymer Clay Tutorhttp://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/phthalate-free-premo-polymer-clay/86/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-677202456518127806.post-30033526136434661442008-05-14T14:55:00.000-05:002008-05-14T14:55:00.000-05:00I am new to beading! I've only dabbled in it and am surprised how easy it is. I have a necklace project I want to make but not sure what is the best wire for it. I think I will be making more necklaces b/c my neck tends to break out in a rash when I wear chain/metal necklaces.java divahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06335176920601718794noreply@blogger.com
