If not, I know there are a few near my sister in MA. I really want to get some brass wire. Thanks for this info, Kat. I’ll have to see if we have an Ace anywhere nearby.

I recently got Vol-018, and I hadn't watched this one yet. It's yet another fantastic vid by Doug & Cindy; they really know what they're doing, don't they? I've been making wraps for some time, but for a beginner, or someone who's having trouble with their technique, this would be just the thing! The "messy wrap" is also really cool-looking, so if you don't know how to make it, check this out. It really makes for an awesome necklace, bracelet, or whatever you decide to make! Yay! I finally made it to Ace Hardware, and they have Black Annealed Steel wire. Unfortunately, only in 28 gauge though. They can order other gauges for me, but I have to buy 10 or 12 of them. It's still really cheap, even in that qty. But I'd never be able to use all of that wire! I'm going to call around to some of the other Ace stores, maybe they have some of the other gauges. I also got some copper & brass wire. Ace has a much better wire selection than Home Depot or Lowes! The last time I checked H.D., you could only buy a HUGE roll of copper wire. I also found the flashing for the <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/polymer-clay-tutorial-affordable-hammered-metal-bezels-video/9346/">cool bezels tute</a> Cindy recently taught, and some tubing, chain, -- just a whole bunch of fun stuff. It was a fun time in the hardware store, and I didn't even get those <a href="http://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/polymer-clay-tutorial-affordable-hammered-metal-bezels-video/9346/#comment-33511">weird "looks"</a> like the ones we discussed the other day.

"black" steel wire in Riverside, CA (or anywhere in the Inland Empire.) I don't want to order again online just yet if I don't have to. I also hate paying for shipping -- silly, I know. Anyway, I love the look of this wire! Look how cool Cindy's beads look wrapped in this stuff!

I knew how to make loops, but I always I made it harder to do than it had to be. Now, thanks to you and your great video, it will all be easier! Thank you! Hugs to you :) Cindy E.

I took a class on beginning wire working last summer, but I haven't done too much with it yet. Your video will help to get me going, along with my ever-increasing stock of polymer clay beads! I found an incredible resource at First Mountain--videos and all kinds of tutorials on jewelry making. firemountaingems.com/beading_howtos/default.asp Hi Cindy,

Investigation continues. My main concern was finding something of quality (i.e. something that I won't break). The EuroTools look really good and might be just the thing.
