Construction notes

It's way premature to say this, but I'm loving that new wire. Cut myself a nice piece of it today and finished off that name necklace.
And, how did I ever live without making my own jump rings? I went back on the name necklace...I'd connected the wrapped links with two jump rings rather than one, because the premade ones I'd gotten were so thin. Never again! And they're so easy to make. I have a special dowel for it that I keep in my box. You need only get yourself a piece of thick wire and start wrapping (and if you already know how to do wrapping, it's the same thing). Start cutting with your flushcutters and there ya go.
My next thing to do will be to make some sterling jump rings and get those on my iolite necklace. After that I'd like to finish my carnelian and gold-filled piece.
My next thing to order will be earring wires.
