I don't know why the mail was delivering packages yesterday, but I got a
book I'd ordered a while ago from Amazon on wire weaving.

I was dying to try it, so I made a test in copper, and then went for the
real thing in silver. I'm not quite happy with it. I may move the wraps,
but then again, I may just leave them and work on changing them on the
next
one. I'd really like to try one in silver and gold now! I do like the
bracelet alot!

Also, I didn't have the right wire for the hook, so this one is temporary
until I get something else. It works, just a little smaller guage than I
wanted.

Unfortunately, there isn't a lot else in the book that I, personally, can
use because it's got PMC and soldering silver, both of which I know
nothing
about, but I can enjoy the pictures and at least I can do a weave now!

Here's the book:

They were delivering the mail here, too, but I attributed it to the fact
that they didn't deliver anywhere along the east coast of Florida where
the hurricane warnings were in effect on Saturday.

if you use fine silver, and a kitchen torch, you can whip those headpins out
in seconds. no pickling, nada!!!

i make them as I need them, then I don't waste a lot of silver (although
it's not really a waste) but if i decide i need 100 17/8 inch
pins...whoosh...out they come!

I took my first smithing class in the summer between senior year and
freshman year.fell in love immediately.

It's true vj, when you find the medium...painting, smithing, lampwork, you
do come home.

] I want to get the stuff to make headpins. My teacher at Wm. Holland

I
]need a pickle pot or a small crock pot and the acid, and that's really
all I
]need for that.

actually, in your case, all you REALLY need is the wire. the acid is
nice, but not mandatory if all you want are head pins.

] I'll keep you in mind, if I have any questions. Maybe one year I'll
]take a silver smith class.

i finally felt like i'd come 'home'.

]I think YOU would get a lot out of this book with what you're doing!

you might be right.
right now, i'm always on overload!
Oran is packing as much information into my head as he can, and he
tries to catch the bits that fall out and stuff them back in.
i'm SO loving the casting right now, i can't get it ready fast enough.
he keeps saying "don't worry - if we need more, Rio will have it here
in two days for me."

I read this TOTALLY out of context and it had me laughing hysterically!
