@Daphne Mainwaring: Hi Daphne, I just answered this question for Elizabeth S in another thread. If you click the link by my name, it will take you right there. You can use regular Round nose pliers if you wish though. The Multi-Size Looping Pliers are just nice to have.

Where did you buy the tool used to make the metal loops in the Vol-031-3 December video?

I found black steel wire (dark annealed) at Ace Hardware. I have several Ace stores around me, and I ended up having to go to different ones to get all the gauges I wanted. Several months back I found 16 and 28 gauge wire at one store, but they didn’t carry the any gauges in-between. Recently, I went to a different Ace store, and they carried 24 and 19 gauge wire (and not the gauges that the other store carried!) The point I’m trying to make is that these stores do things a bit differently than Home Depot, so check around…

BTW, both stores DID carry the smaller copper gauge wires (16 to 24) and a lot of brass wire, too…

@Cindy B: In the Q&A part of today’s post about Calla Lily Beads, I provided some feedback regarding your question (where to buy steel black wire).

The link by my name will take you to today’s blog post. Once you are there, scroll down the page a bit to get to the Q&A section. Hope the information is helpful for you.

First Cindy I never look at the blog the same time of day so sorry I did not know you were late. I too am glad everything is OK with you and hopefully your family as well. I don’t think anyone of us thinks you would ever need to apologize for being late or anything else.

I sometimes wonder if you ever sleep. I have been up at 1 and 2am on Friday’s and you have already posted your video. You are the most devoted person I know.

Cindy I have made my own jump rings and made several bezels from Polymer Clay and a few bails. Would really love to learn how to make any findings you could teach us out of wire or Polymer Clay. I love the necklace you made. I am not very good when it comes to design. The raku beads going up just one side is so neat. I would never be able to do something like that without seeing it on someone elses work first. Then bam it opens the door to so many things. This is why I love looking at magazines. Probably would never be able to do what they show but you can take someone elses work and it just fills you head with ideas.

Josie hats of to you, I can not imagine being able to make a crimp bead.

Looking forward to each coming day with Cindy and everyone else.
Hugs to all of you!!

@Laurel: You really need to try polymer clay cafe. You can just google the name and it will take you to a site so you can subscribe. It will seem kind of expensive but very well worth every penny. If you don’t want to subscribe right away take a 40% off coupon to Hobby Lobby and buy one first. I can almost bet you will be hooked. Also have you ever visited Glass attic website or Polymer Clay Central they are both free sites you can get a lot of advice and Polymer Clay Central has several free lessons. They are not as good as Cindy’s but you can still get a lot from them. Don’t forget try Polymer Clay Cafe and let me know what you think of it. I have been getting it for a couple of years and have bought every back issue available. I am only missing 2 or 3 issues that first came out.
Hope you enjoy, Peggy from Iowa

I want a UK clay mag! Can’t see it happening though, not enough people even know what polymer clay is.

I often look out for clay stuff in beading/jewellery magazines but don’t find very much (and not impressed with what I do find).

And most shops seem to carry 3 scrapbooking/card making mags, 2 knitting/crochet and nothing else. :/
