Dissertation buy or not to buy-that is the question?

It is neither an easy task to decide where to buy dissertation from nor ask for an advice on it. Judgmental as advisors may be, they regard buying dissertation online unethical which is entirely a… Continue

Ensuring Strength & Integrity in your Wire Designs

Quality is something that is extremely important to me as an artisan. It's the little extras that are sometimes above and beyond what the customer initially notices, but it's these extras that make a huge difference in the final product.

This post focuses on strength in your wire designs. Different metals have different strengths. Some work harden more than others. If you've ever used fine silver, you will know that it doesn't get stiff, but fuses beautifully and is a dream for wrapping.

Today's Tip From The Studio

This afternoon while making earrings in the studio, I remembered a trick that I use that I would like to pass along.

Working with large holed beads can sometimes be a little tricky because they wobble off center on the headpin. Today I used rounded crimps to take up the extra space inside the bead. I slid them on the headpin and stacked them to the top of the bead and "no more wobble". Try this the next time you have this issue.

Happy Beading!
