Made my first earring!!
Apr. 3rd, 2004 05:52 pmI'd show you a photo but CuteFTP expired again. They are just 3 strands with multicoloured bugle beads. Simple but kinda funky. A bit messy and uneven but I'll get the technique as I go along.
I think the wire cutters on the pliers I got with the kit are cactus. They refuse to cut tigertail without a lot of coaxing - causing the wire to be all frayed once it is cut. Now I must invest in some sharp wire cutters. *sigh* Ones that cut through memory wire as well.
*about 5 minutes later*
w00t! Matt does have his bouts of genius. Nail clippers make VERY good wire cutters. *grinz*
P.S. And for those of you quitting smoking - THIS is very nifty.
