FMG Wrap-It Wire
I've noticed that Fire mountain Gems has it's own version of the Bead Smith wrapping wire now. Has anyone tried it and how do they compare? Is it worth buying?new to wire wrapping jewellery
Hi EveryoneFirst l like to say all of your jewellery pieces are amazing and l hope to one day be able to make something half as beautiful as all of yours. Second as l said l'm new to this and really would like to know where l can find patterns or books to start me off. I don't want anything to advance yet.
Any help would be great.
thanks louloulemon2009@hotmail.com
Sea Glass
I'm looking for some sea glass to wrap. Would prefer medium to large pieces, but will consider all sizes, depending on the color. Would love to buy some red and amber sea glass, but will take any other colors as well.Warning!!!

Or if you aer a Raleigh, nc resident and know where there might be a class I could take to learn that would be great. I…photo layout

Tumbling gemstones with a mystic coating!
I've had a stone tumbler for years and when I discovered I could harden and polish my jewellery in it there was no stopping me..I love it, BUT just a word of warning; I was just about to tumble mystic topaz earrings when I remembered my labradorite necklace and how when I photographed it, the mystic quartz looked clear.I got the necklace out and I'm glad I did. The mystic quartz appears to have lost its coating, it is there a little bit and I can't be completely certain as I only have one othe…
What Tools?
When I started wire wrapping I bought some cheap (£1.99) tools from a local craft shop. They haven't lasted too badly but the round nosed pliers are a little wobbly now after more than a year's good service.I decided to buy some good quality tools and got a 'Pro quality' set from Beadsmith, not realy knowing where else to look. Unfortunately the wire cutters don't, the flat nosed pliers don't fit together snugly and the round nosed pliers snapped the first time I used them on 1mm wire!
