And just when you thought you'd never find a use for that cursive writing they made us study in grade school.. Take that modern world! 😂 From what I hear, its no longer required learning anymore, but it has its peeks. Beautiful design.
Very cute ring! I am going to try making a pair of them with the word " friends" for my daughter and her best friend.....or "bff" if that won't fit, lol. I have a question for you. Do you ever get scratches or gouges in your wire? It seems to happen to me quite often. Maybe I should just tool magic everything because I have too tight of a grip, lol.
Andrea Morin I suffered from the same tight grip as you, but I think Christina is THE queen of no scratches or gauges on wire with what I call 'naked' pliers! I think it's all in practice though, the more you use your tools, the better you get at not scratching/gauging the wire. You can use the tool magic, I haven't been able to get my hands on that so I just use electrical tape, the stuff you use to fix a broken cable covering. It works great because it stays on your tools, not like my first try, masking tape!
Thank you so much. That sounds like a great idea. You can definitely write whatever you want and that sounds very sweet. Regarding your question, yes I do get scratches on my wire when using tools. Like Sandra said, I don't get nearly as many as I used to, which I think is mainly down to experience. And I tend to know in what situations they are going to come up, so I have to decide wether I think it's worth it or not. I haven't personally tired the tool magic. I did consider it a long time ago, but never really got around to it 😝. But otherwise you can try electrical tape like Sandra mentioned as well, just be aware that it doesn't last long before being worn through to the pliers again. I hope you figure out what works for you 😃
Thank you so much Sandra 😊. Electrical tape is a good tip to try. I personally prefer electrical tape myself as well and use it for a couple of different things in jewellery making. I don't really like the masking tape either 😃
I found gorrilla tape wears well for the thicker wire but watch as it wears because the glue gets in the weave once its through. Christine you do some a mazing stuff. Keep it up.
It's so pretty and your work is so neat. Handling 1 mm wire for a ring with so much of work is not easy.❤❤
brass with copper used together is a beautiful combination
Christina, you really are a great teacher!
Thank you so much Andrea 😄
LOVE THE RING I AM MAKING AT THE SAME TIME IN ALPACA. THANK YOU
Amazing and I adore your accent.
Thank you so much Deby 😃
