When working with copper or brass wire, I find that as I am finishing my wire wrapping and putting the final tweaks on tightening and bails, I am consistently squishing, denting or burring the wire. Am I putting too much pressure on the wire? Is there a way to avoid this? Does it ruin the piece or is it considered a homemade flaw? I know I can't be perfect but that is all I see when I finish the piece - the FLAW.

One of the best ways to win a potential customer's heart (and check) is: when the potentential approaches your display, quickly choose a bracelet, necklace or ring that you can see will "show off" best with what they are wearing; say something such as, "Oh, look how beautifully this goes with your scarf!" while holding the jewelry near the [scarf]. (Don't touch the customer; some people are fearful of someone they don't know making an what they feel is an inappropriate move toward them.) If they reach for the jweelry, let them HOLD it! Once it's in their hands, they will feel reluctant to let it go back to you; then, offer something (pin?) to go with it!

Preston, I am able to make wire-sculpted jewelry thanks to you and your DVDs! People are amazed that I can make jewelry using just wire and pliers. My question is which gauge secret weapon pliers would be the best size to get as I cannot afford all of them? And is it possible to make the prong setting without them? Will you show us how to use flat nose pliers along with the secret weapon pliers in your next DVD?

TIP BY JOYCE ORMOND - I also sell my jewelry in a local beauty salon and hope my experience may encourage or help someone else. Even in a busy salon, business is somewhat repetitive--the same clients week after week. I found that after about 3-4 weeks exposure, my pieces had been seen by most of the clientel and buying fell sharply to nonexistant. I started removing all "old" merchandise and replacing with a "new" collection, usually theme based, about every 4-6 weeks. (Next will be Valentine collection, then Easter, Mother's Day, Fourth of July, then Homecoming--an inexpensive asortment of school colors and mascots--and of course open house for Christmas shopping) Offering a quick turnover of product was the key for me to keep the "same" people buying consistantly and bringing in new people to see what was available "now". Hope this helps somebody else.

What is the best way to handle a customer who is trying to get your price down on a piece of jewelry? I have several people try this at jewelry shows.

I just recieved a vintage cosmetic case (Samsonite) with removable compartments. This is perfect for storing your wire, settings, gemstones, tools etc. Great for traveling or if you want to take with you to a show.

Tip by PAM MILLER - When using beads with larger holes, they are often hanging crooked,esp. on earrings. An easy fix is to fill the hole by stringing seed beads or bugle beads onto the wire. It works great.

Late last year when I was in the hospital twice, I made over $200.00 just making jewelry while there. But since then, nothing! I have a couple of places that would like to set up my jewelry, but are afraid someone might steal them. I can't afford to buy professional jewelry cases. Do you have any ideas? Thanks, Teena
