It's time for another giveaway! Evie's Tool Emporium on Etsy has generously offered not just one but 2 very useful tools. The first is a 3 Step Wire Looping pliers - it's no coincidence I wrote the tutorial on how to use one! So if you are on the look-out for more tools and you don't have this pliers, here is your chance. You may not need to buy one!
If you win and if you happen to like making dainty earring dangle loops, one tip is to use the very end of the round jaw to form the loop as it is the smallest part of this particular model.
The second tool is exceedingly useful as you can never have too many flush cutters. You have no idea how many times I misplaced my one and only flush cutter until I bought a second and "borrowed" a third, a big one, for cutting memory wire from my other half.Michelle and her partner have been in the tool business for 8 years. Due to overwhelming demand, they started to carry the jewelry and hobby craft tools. A little over a year ago, on a whim, they opened their Etsy store dedicated to these types of tools. Why Evie? That's the name of their black cocker spaniel Evie who is their good luck charm. Below is a picture of the much loved Evie from Michelle's blog.
They work very hard but they've really enjoyed their Etsy experience so far and hope to grow their business there. Note that they are always open to suggestions of what tools to stock. Hmm, I will have to think about that!
So if you want to win some cool tools, just leave a comment (click at the bottom right of the post where the word "comments" is displayed). If you are an email subscriber, click on the post title to be taken to my actual blog where you will see the comments word at the bottom.The giveaway closes at 7.30pm EST on Sunday September 6. I will pick the winner using random.org and post who won as soon as possible after that.
The contest is open to readers everywhere. If you are shy about using your real name, pseudonames are allowed - funny ones are positively encouraged! Just don't leave your email address in the comment body. Good luck!

Oh Oh pick me! I want one of those after your tutorial and haven't gone looking on the net to see where I can find one yet. Maybe I can win it instead.
ReplyDeleteI'm still relatively new to wire work, but loved your tutorial. So of course, I'd also love to win the tool(s) in question!
ReplyDeleteI've been lusting after a pair of looping pliers! One of these days, I'll have a pair, I just know it.

OoOoOoOoOooo tooools. *grin*
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the looping pliers yesterday I thought they were absolutely great and started lusting after them. Sadly, they are the kind of thing I never find here in Mexico as it is so hard to find materials and tools that aren't as common. I'd love to win them!
ReplyDeleteGreat give away! Could really use both. Thanks for the give away.

Olá, eu recebo e-mails sobre as ferramentas, fico entusiasmada com elas, mas como moro no Brasil, é uma dificuldade encontra ferramentas....se eu ganharn esse Kit de ferramentas vou ser a mulhermais feliz desse lado de cá do Atlântico....
ReplyDeleteUm grande beijo a vc e espero que eu ganhe, mas mesmo que eu não ganhe, seu blog me enche os olhos de tantas coisas boas....
Beijos a Evie, ela é linda....
I'm beginning to think one can never have too many tools! Thanks for posting the tutorial previously, and now this opportunity to win a new tool--how exciting :-)
ReplyDeleteWow what a great deal! I can always use more tools.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win more tools. I love your blog and all the good info on beading, wire and so much more that I didn't know I needed to know.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your blog and appreciate the op for more tools. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tut, Pealr! And of course I wan tot participate, too! Who wouldn't like such cool round nose pliers and a spare flush cutter. :-)
ReplyDeleteI could never figure out the stepped pliers I had until your tutorial, and one can never have too many flush cutters. I don't so much lose them as they work themselves out of alignment!
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving us the chance to win some cool tools. But also the introducing us to Evie's Tool Emporium. Great site. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks once again. Without a doubt, you have the best jewelry blog ever. It's so nice to have something to look forward to when I go to my email!

ReplyDeleteOh YES! count me in on on this, heard about it from Evie's Tools post about it on an Etsy bulletin board. Now will go take a look at the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteThanks you two for teaming up for a great giveaway. It has brought me to this blog; and hopefully it will bring some of this blog's readers to Evie's.

ReplyDeleteAnother awesome tutorial Pearl!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! as was the tutorial! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOh, gee - thanks alot.
ReplyDeleteNow I have ANOTHER addiction rearing it's ugly head. I thought I had gotten the beading bug out of my system but then I saw these tools and the tutorial and, well it's like setting a bottle of tequila and a lime in front of an alcoholic.
Ooooooooh -shiny!
Oh! A free tool? Me?? It's a AWESOME fit!!
ReplyDeleteI've got to be a part of this one, Pearl!
ReplyDeleteneat tool and thanks for the tut on how to use them. Fingers crossed (and cc ready to order in case I don't win them =P)

ReplyDeleteKaren
Wow! These tools look fantastic to work with. Thank you for the opportunity to win them on your blog giveaway. All the best to everyone! ~ Ux
ReplyDeleteHe who dies with the most tools wins!
ReplyDeleteWas wonderfully surprised to learn of your great site. I don't own a pair of step pliers as yet, its on my list of "too buy" Would also love to see rosary pliers carried on your site too. A jewelry artist can never have too many tools.
ReplyDeleteNow if we could only find someone who doese wholesale beading supplies. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your giveaway.
sweet deal! wouldn't mind picking up some of these :)

I've always wanted to learn how to make wire-wrapped earrings. This could be my chance!
ReplyDeletekatch05 at gmail dot com
A great giveaway. Wirewrapping here I come.

ReplyDeleteMaria White
I could really use these new tools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love a pair of those stepped loop pliers. I don't like to use my round nose pliers for making quick jump rings because I can never get them the same size with the tapered point. Also a great pair of flush cutters is a must, so need a pair of those too! :-)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE new tools and wire wrapping is on my short list of things to learn. I can do simple stuff now but I really love the look of wrapped pendants so these would be a great addition. And you are SO right, you can never have enough flush cutters. They just seem to wander...
ReplyDeletepick me pick me :D
ReplyDeletePearl, you always have the BEST posts. Thanks for sponsoring the giveaway. I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteGreat tools! I would love to win them for my wire work. Great etsy shop.
ReplyDeleteNice tools and I don't own either of them! Thank you for these great prize giveaways.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your previous post on how to use the 3-step wire looping pliers. Now we have the chance to win one? Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteA girl can never have too many tools...count me in Pearl!!!
ReplyDeleteCheers
love to have the step pliers and the flush cutter. You can never have too many tools. thanks for the chance to win!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi! :D I've been dying to try those looping pliers, they seem so awesome and helpful!
ReplyDeleteOoooh - I've just gotten back into jewelry-making and have a pitiful tool stash, so I could really use these!!!
ReplyDeleteGoodness knows I need new jewelry-making tools. I ruined my old pliers and cutters by using them for architecture school ... poor things were not meant for that kind of abuse.
ReplyDeleteI really need those tools! Enter me please!
ReplyDeleteI can always use new tools! So please enter me :)
ReplyDeletejrerwin6 at gmail dot com
it's so true that you can never have too many flush cutters! come to think of it, that's true of so many jeweler's pliers and cutters...
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway!! I love Evie's Tool Emporium! I've bought several great tools from their Etsy shop. :o)

ReplyDeleteoh! oh! pick me! I actually purchased a similar 3-step wire wrap tool and didn't like it. I suspect because it was of lower quality, than those showcased here. (hope I win, hope I win).
