I'm having difficulty with Novacan flaking on copper and brass. I'm experimenting with heat oxidation and that's producing some interesting results.

I've forgotten how to make necklaces, seems everyone has lately.<br /><br />The thing about a lot of that stuff you blather about at the end - how to fix mistakes, what pliers to use etc - is the kind of shit you put in a book, so if you don't wanna do a book it would be a whole other tute- i mean you can write a certain amount of advice in this tute but keep it specific to the project. then do one about tools and one about design elements. or maybe not the tool one cause if you can't figure out which pliers to use for what then you got some way to go before you start usin' tutes. I say this while I use round noise pliers for just about everything.<br /><br />TOUCH MY BALL PEENPenelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00552220520085713818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-637603317585526953.post-54678898380611906992012-03-12T22:59:46.741-05:002012-03-12T22:59:46.741-05:00Ooh la la, tute you say!!

I used to think my necklaces were asymmetrical but not any more, I would just switch around a few beads and put my focal on the side instead of the middle but you have redefined the word for me.
