LOL She said they are hers and they stay in the bag! Honest! **LOL** well, i always want to "make things", but i can understand her not wanting anything to happen to them. when i first saw them, i was afraid they might be too fragile for the wire wrap - but they weren't! When I first started in Paua shells I was afraid to tumble them. I even wrote a guy and ask how to, because I was afraid I would end up with shell dust. lol They are very durable and strong... if not tumbled to thin. Found that out the hard way... but I do like glitter also. LOL |

Undrilled round would be best for most bead bezel work. Which is a common
use. Something as small as 1/2 would be great fr earrings. Tina "Harry" wrote in message ... On Mon, 5 Jan 2004 05:38:28 +0800, "Marisa Cappetta" wrote: Go for it, Harry! Marisa (AU/NZ) WOW! They are very pretty indeed! I think I found something else I might have to learn how to do. Harry I am going to attemp mutiple answers and question with this one post! LOL 1. How do you even begin to do wire wrapping? 2. About the holes. I can drill holes, but I have no idea what size or where to put them. 3. If I drill the hole in the wrong side of the shell... will anyone be upset? Other than me? lol 4. What would you, (anyone), conside a perfect sized shell for: Earring, Pendant, Bracelet, Anklet drops? 5. Is this alot to ask? 6. Does people prefer free form over cut sizes? Shapes? Round? brain went blank... 7. What the best judgement to use as weather a piece of shell should be drilled or wrapped? 8. I have tumbled some sea beach glass that is lead crystal I beileve... how would I drill a hole in some of the pieces? 9. What size and type of bit would I have to use? Some of the glass pieces are thick and big. Thanks Harry |

It looks like it was.
Just after Christmas I went to Focus the nearest store that sold Dremel bits and pieces. Alas they have stopped doing them, the only thing they had was the router attachment which was on sale at half price. 30GBP about 53 dollars at today's rate. My son said I would be better off getting some spares from USA as they are cheaper and the exchange rate is good for us at the moment. I want a flexible drive and will use polishing and cutting disc's more than anything else. Shirley In article k.net, Debbie B writes Shirley, This must have been a dremel christmas.....

re dremels I want a flexible drive and will use polishing and cutting disc's more than anything else. I want a flexible drive too, as mine's corded and quite bulky for craft stuff. It came with various bits including cutting disks (I've only broken one so far!). Our local model shop has loads of bits, do you have one near you? If not I can post you some disks or whatever bits you need. (swapsies?) |
