Catching up...

Once again I have got behind with keeping this little blog of mine up to date. I must say with everything that's going on its pretty difficult. I have however been taking photo's of everything and have a few more tips and tricks for you to make your jewellery making that little bit easier. Here's my first tip...

When you first start working with wire or if your using a heavy wire that's quite soft then you can be prone to dent it or mark it with your metal pliers. What you can do to prevent this as much as you can is to wrap a little bit of masking tape around the nose of the pliers to create a little padding without compromising on grip. I have some nylon jaw pliers but find this much more affective.
