I'm very new at making earrings (my favorite jewelry piece) and my first square was better than I expected. Love wire work.

Also examine your tools perhaps some bur needs to be filed off. <br /><br />You can get rid of tool marks by tumbling. Some people dip their pliers in a special rubber coating called Tool Magic to prevent tool marks.The Beading Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373750828368944711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-9639794033278241422010-07-28T10:55:19.064-04:002010-07-28T10:55:19.064-04:00I'm so glad you posted this tutorial Pearl! I ...I'm so glad you posted this tutorial Pearl! I loved those copper square spiral earrings when I saw them on your Etsy site. I have avoided venturing into wirework until recently, but have finally decided to give it a go. So now, I'm eager for instruction in that regard. I love your tutorials and I have several 'bookmarked' or saved in my email. I have the hardest time with 'tool marks' ... How do you deal with those? I find the nylon jaw pliers slippery and hard to work with. Thanks again Pearl... People with a lot of knowledge inspire and impress me. People who so generously SHARE that knowledge have my deepest admiration!Tamarahttp://www.freyjasjewels.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-1271738857482696242010-07-28T10:22:00.333-04:002010-07-28T10:22:00.333-04:00I would be delighted to!I would be delighted to!The Beading Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373750828368944711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-64645800903815983502010-07-28T10:18:17.516-04:002010-07-28T10:18:17.516-04:00I promise I'll let you know, dear Pearl.
