Mooly asked:


I bought some bulk jewelry supplies and got some very fine twisted wire. It doesn’t really hold it’s shape very well, but it does have permanent creases if you fold it. What can I do with this? Is it just used for threading beads?
It must be that Tigertail wire. It’s not the normal 24 gauge wire, but a lot smaller. Kind of looks like the thick guitar strings.

I’m interested in exchanging ideas with people who are interested in jewelry making. ?

Weather their just starting out, or well into the hobby. I would say that my level of involvement is at a beginners stage. But I have a boat load of supplies accumulated. Seriously, a lot of beads. I would love to see some of the work that people have found, or made themselves. So many of the designs that I find in the books are horrid. Thanks! P.S. if you know of any good websites that are free and provide instructions please let me know.
