I had a few friends asking me how to make wire wrapped jewelry, and after showing them the basics of it I decided to make this video so that everyone who wants to can learn at least the basics for free on youtube, instead of having to have to buy "how to" books ect. like I did when I was starting out :)
The video was fun to make, though I must have gone through about 50 little pieces of wire, because every time I'd mess up a word I'd be half way through wrapping it, and the wire was no good anymore :P
I think I'll probably make more videos like this one, with other tutorials like "how to wrap a briolette" and simple things like that for now. I'll get into the more elaborate stuff as I go along.
I hope people find them useful ^-^ I also have a little version of the video from youtube on the side-bar of my blog with a link under it to the youtube page. I'll be putting new ones there in their place as they come up :)

Ring Day!
With only a couple days left of my "Engagment Sale" (read about it here) I've decided to ring crazy and make 7 more ring designs to add to the sale. Unfortunately 'Ring Day' was supposed to be almost a week ago, but my photography depends on the natural light coming in from my south facing window, and it's been raining every day between then and now. It was actually raining today, but the sun came out for about 5 minutes and I took all my pictures then.
Because of this inconvenience I'm designing a small studio like set up to take my pictures indoors and with artificial lighting so I can take pictures of my items regardless of the weather conditions and if it's 3:00 in the morning :) I'll be sure to list pictures of the contraption once I've finished making it, and report on whether or not it works well. I'm hoping to get all my supplies and have it finished this weekend.
Until then I will continue to use sunlight - whenever the sun decides to shine. This is a sneak peak at the rings I will be listing tonight. Enjoy! :)
