These free eMagazines showcase the work of some awesome jewelry designers as well as include some helpful and fun articles. They are beautifully produced and free.
Issue 5 is in the works but there has been a long hiatus. I did not know why until Karen of KarenMakesStuff emailed to let me know that Lois has been laid low with a bad back since December.
Karen wanted to know if I could write a post to lift up Lois' spirits. Lois has been so unstinting in her help, she even went to Karen's house to show her how to do wire wrapped cabochons!
Karen said in her email, "If it wasn't for her I don't know that I ever would have posted about copper wire rings and bails. Those same copper wire rings and bails I'm now famous for because of you!!! See a community at work. " (see my past post How to Make Wire Bails) Indeed. Well Lois, when you read this, know that a whole bunch of people are willing you to get back on your feet again. So get well soon!

ReplyDeleteJust visted Lois' site and joined her Ning group. Hope you are feeling better Lois...I know what it feels like to hurt your back...sure puts a "kink" in beading too! Thanks Pearl, you are awesome!! Please check out Cindy's blog for the beadsisterhood - she's awesome too!!!
ReplyDeleteLois rocks!
ReplyDeleteIt's a very interesting site, just spent about 10 minutes there and realize I could be there for a very long time. :D I will have to go back and give it the time and attention it deserves.
ReplyDeleteI have to laugh at how much our jewelry making sister/brotherhood has changed in a few short years. Once we deigned to use sterling as 14 k gold or even gold filled became too expensive but we continued to snub the lesser base metals such as pewter, copper, bronze and brass. However these base metals are all beautiful in their own way. Now that sterling has gotten so "precious" we are learning to fully appreciate the warm tones of these "less" precious metals.
Greetings Lois,
ReplyDeleteSending you well wishes, and good energy!
What an amazing honor I awoke to this morning. I'm an avid reader of The Beading Gem's Journal and never miss a blog. I never dreamed Copper Wire Jewelers and I would be in it. Thank you so much to Pearl and Karen and all our members and the Jewelery Community in general for being so supportive during this tough time. I'm back though, for the most part and raring to go. Hot Glue tells me the 5th issue will be out shortly and we'll start work on the next one and boy do we have a great treat for you in the upcoming issues.
ReplyDeleteHugs all around. You sure made my day and I've been grinning ear to ear.
