But I think nail varnish is a good idea too. Otherwise, try swaying the tip of a lighter at the ends and see if it burns and curls. If it does, it should seal pretty nicely under slight heat... :)<br /><br />I must say brass gold wires also turn green after a while. Can ketchup do the job of "polishing" the wires?The Bead Pothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941757260383693958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7995304298445331597.post-12484553404257099542010-05-12T02:06:55.423-07:002010-05-12T02:06:55.423-07:00Hi Frances and good to hear that I'm not the o...Hi Frances and good to hear that I'm not the only one with sore fingers ....not that I wish that sort of thing on people!!<br /><br />I haven't yet tried out knitting wire. However, yesterday I received some silk covered wire (www.wires.co.uk) ....ohhh, the excitment of new things! Not that I've done much with them yet, but the silk does fray and unravel away at the ends and does anyone have any tips for overcoming this? Glue? Clear nail varnish? I think they'll be lovely for making wirey beads, with the ends tucked away neatly. I also got some Bronze wire (0.9 mm and 1.0 mm) and this manipulates beautifully ...halfway between silver plate and copper wire and I love the slight and light orangey tinge to it. Quite expensive but although copper has always been my favourite it might overcome those customers that love the look of copper but insist that they'll turn green!Sally Pitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06140246333270807300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7995304298445331597.post-22875649988478386382010-05-11T21:13:02.524-07:002010-05-11T21:13:02.524-07:00I am appreciative of this opportunity Laura. :) In...I am appreciative of this opportunity Laura. :) In fact, am inspired to make some more. :)<br /><br />Sky Pixie, I have sore fingers (and blisters) too, every time I complete one crocheted bangle.

I especially love the Gardenville Bangle ....time to dust off my crotchet hook! I have played around with the crotchet hook and Bullion (Bouillon?) wire which I came across in a florists section of a craft store. I found this easier than normal wire to use as the kinks gave it a bit more "give" and was therefore easier to manipulate. Still had sore fingers at the end of it but persistence as ever is the key to toughening up! Many thanks for sharing on this Blog and providing even more motivation.Sally Pitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06140246333270807300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7995304298445331597.post-47060885944676539182010-05-11T01:27:52.755-07:002010-05-11T01:27:52.755-07:00Great interview and lovely jewellery.
