Welcome to Magpie's Workbench

[elisem]

Come on, find a branch and settle in for a nice companionable chat about making jewelry. Whether you're just starting out or have been doing this for a million years, you're welcome here -- especially if you know the joy of finding some interesting shiny bit that fills you with the overwhelming desire to make a piece of wearable art-goodness out of it.

We're all magpies here.

If it's shiny, we probably want to make jewelry out of it.

So... what have you been working on lately, and what treasures have you found?

Oh, my. That sounds like quite the piece. I hope to see it when you're done, if you want to show us.

The quest for wire is endless, and likewise the quest for money to pay for same.

I had a bit of a scare the other day, because I couldn't find my big coil of twenty gauge sterling half-hard, and for a minute or ten I thought I'd somehow gone through it all already, and would need to put in a Rio order.

Fortunately, it turned up. Good thing too; I'm in work frenzy this week, and it shows no sign of stopping any time soon.
