Punkin

Several of my customer have asked about the cat that walked into the store 10 years ago and made himself at home.  He was about 6 or 8 weeks old and filthy dirty on top of being hungry and thirsty.  He lived her for 2 years but I took him home for the holidays that second Christmas and since he liked it there so much, he just stayed.  But as you can see by the picture he grew up and filled out and is still a lover.

These are beautiful lead pendants.

ametrine

ametrine  - combination of amethyst and citrine-natural

new merchandise

Dzi beads - made from agate

One of my favorite vendors deliveredd some new semi precious stones and pendants plus some lead crystal pendant shapes.  Will be "showing off" these new beads with pictures in the next week.

tube wringer

Jewelry made with tube wringer - check classes for this technique.

For metal workers: have you tried the Tube Wringer?  This nifty tool lets you add depth to small sheets of metal.

Multi size looping pliers

Do you use round nose pliers? for making loops?  There is a fairly new multi size looping plier that gives you 6 sizes of loops.  Why are these great?  If you are making something that has several loops that need to be the same size, these pliers give you six sizes to pick from.
