New This Week!

Em-bezelling!

I've invented a new word! Embellish plus bezel equals Embezelling! No? You don't think it will catch on? "So, what did you do this weekend?" "I was embezelling in my basement." Hmmm. Well, anyway, we have lots of new bezel findings for you to, er, embellish. Multi-link bracelets - you can collage, decoupage, resin-ate, epoxy-clay, polymer clay, or all of the above! These handsome bracelets are ready to rock and roll - just fill and enjoy!

Oh, and some hair clips too!

 

Mini-swoops - those pretty little droplet beads in boro glass, now in a cuter size! Lots of colours to choose from!

 

Are your hands starting to ache from all the beading? You could try these Thera-gloves. It is a light-weight, stretchy fingerless glove with a wrist brace that could make the difference for you by acting like support hose for your aching hands. Wear these while beading, sewing, bending wire, etc., and feel the relief. Three sizes - so pick your size.

Are you gearing up for the Christmas sales season? Then you have got to see this! This is the Easy Earring Card Punch kit. One squeeze of the lever and you have perfectly positioned holes for earrings. Two styles - both punches are included in the kit.

• The Double Post Punch makes two small holes, approx. 1 inch from edge of card and 1 inch apart, for use with stud, post or fish hook earrings and also great for lampwork beads, pendants and bobby pins.


• The Leverback punch cuts approx. 1 inch from the edge of the card, and cuts an area about 1.5 inches wide. Use this with leverbacks, kidney wires, and fish hooks. Also good for brooches and pins.

Print your own cards and develop your brand! This is a powerful sales tool to set yourself apart from the competition!

Some new books too - this one, in particular, caught my attention. The chains in this are definitely different - not your grandmother's chains - unless your grandmother was a very cool and funky lady! Some soldering and metal-smithing skills required for some of them, but if you have taken one of the silver-smithing or forging classes in the past - and are looking for a way to practice some of these skills - this is an awesome source of inspiration and ideas.
