Ok, so I’ve pretty much ignored this handmade jewelry blog for the last six months! Shame on me :(, I’ve been busy with new designs (mostly earrings) and with my store! Perfections Which is now open and offers free shipping on all of my handmade jewelry!!! Wooohoo In fact I should be adding new handmade jewelry as we speak.

Now… I’m getting off subject!… WIRE!!

I love,love,love working with sterling silver wire, If you are just starting out and playing with new designs, I highly recommend to start with regular wire intead of going straight to sterling, you have A LOT more room for error. I was recently designing some butterfly earrings and used the inexpensive stuff to make a template with etc… Waste not want not! little as possible!
