<Janet> I HAVE A COUPLE OF EASY EARRING DESIGNS PLUS A PENDANT DESIGN TO MATCH ONE OF THE EARRINGS.

<MaggieB> did you see my doll with wire hair janet?

<annie> great

<cak> Yes, please

<MaggieB> sure!

<MaggieB> url?

<Janet> YOU NEED WIRE AND PLIERS AND WIRE CUTTERS. OH AND A BIG SCREW :)

<jane> Sounds good to me

<Janet> http://www.weebewire.com

<MaggieB> ty

<Pedstamper> got kicked off again.

<Janet> GO THERE AND PICK THE INSTRUCTION LINK FROM THE TOP OF THE PAGE.

<Janet> THEN PICK SCREWY EARRINGS OUT OF THE LIST

<Janet> (I'D TELL YOU THE DIRECT URL BUT I DON'T REMEMBER IT)

<cak> (we're glad you're persistant ps)

<cak> lol

<Janet> AH HA!

<MaggieB> http://www.weebewire.com/class/earring/screwy/index.html

<Janet> http://www.weebewire.com/class/earring/screwy/index.html

<MaggieB> lol

<MaggieB> beatcha

<Janet> YOU DID!

<Janet> THESE ARE SO EASY, AND THEY END UP LOOKING REALLY NEAT

<MaggieB> but you made the cool earrings

<Sabine> that«s a great idea with this screw !!

<Janet> SHOULD I TELL A BIT ABOUT WIRE IN GENERAL FIRST?

<Sabine> yes please

<Lib> Lib tip toes out the back door, has to go to bed- night all!

<annie> yes

<Janet> OH YES! MAKES PERFECT COILS EVERY TIME. :)

<Pedstamper> that would be good for me, newbie with wire

<Kaye> night lib

<Janet> YOU CAN GET WIRE IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT WEIGHTS, IS CALLED GAUGE IN WIRE-TALK

Pedstamper thinks> I hope she took that large trout with her

<Janet> THE BIGGER THE NUMBER ON THE GAUGE, THE THINNER THE WIRE

<Janet> SO A 24 GAUGE WIRE IS LIKE ARTISTIC WIRE. PRETTY THIN

<MaggieB> night lib

<Janet> AND A 16 GAUGE WIRE IS LIKE YOU'D USE ON THE ROOF WITH YOUR ANTENNA

<Sabine> okay

<Janet> WIRE ALSO COMES IN DIFFERENT SHAPES. MOST WIRE LIKE YOU THINK OF IS ROUND.

<Pedstamper> wouldn't want 16 for earrings, right

<Janet> JUST REGULAR WIRE IS ROUND

<Sabine> what about floristic wire thats the one I can get ?

<MaggieB> so you are going to offer us some really cool specials on your wire for staying up so late right janet?

<Janet> YOU CAN BUY HALF-ROUND WIRE AND THAT (IF YOU LOOK AT THE END OF IT) LOOKS LIKE A DOME. OR A PIECE OF ROUND WIRE CUT IN HALF

<Janet> BUT OF COURSE, MAGGIE :)

<MaggieB> cool

<Pedstamper> :), thanks

<Janet> YOU CAN BUY SQUARE WIRE, THAT IS SQUARE RATHER THAN ROUND.

<Pedstamper> where do you get these different shapes of wire?

<Janet> THE REASON YOU MIGHT WANT DIFFERENT SHAPES IS THAT IF YOU WANT TO TWIST THE WIRE (A VERY NEAT LOOK) YOU HAVE TO USE HALF ROUND OR SQUARE

<Janet> WELL, YOU GET THEM FROM ME, OF COURSE. :)

<annie> never heard of square wire...

<Pedstamper> sorry, of course

<MaggieB> its cool

<Sabine> nor have I

MaggieB needs some of that

<Janet> YOU CAN ALSO GET SQUARE AND HALF-ROUND WIRE FROM JEWELRY SUPPLY PLACES

<Janet> LOL PEDSTAMPER. I'M LAUGHING

Sabine too

<cak> Janet, floral wire is about, uh, 26, 24 guage

<Janet> YOU CAN GET GOOD COPPER WIRE FROM THE HARDWARE STORE

<Janet> 26 GAUGE I BET. MAYBE 24. IT'S PRETTY LIGHT.

<Sabine> thanks cak

<cak> ?? (it was supposed to be a question)

<Sabine> sorry

<Janet> AND I WILL TELL YOU TO USE CHEAP COPPER OR BRASS WIRE THE FIRST TIME YOU MAKE SOMETHING.

<Pedstamper> Michael's got rid of a lot of their wire

<Janet> YOU CAN MAKE A PAIR OF COPPER EARRINGS FOR LESS THAN 50 CENTS A PAIR

<Pedstamper> so we have to buy it from JANET

<MaggieB> hey i LIKE cheap copper and brass!

<Janet> (BUT OF COURSE IT WILL TARNISH IN YOUR EARS)

<Janet> I LOVE COPPER JEWELRY!!

<Kaye> tell them the special

<Janet> AND IT'S JUST PERFECT THAT COPPER WIRE IS SO CHEAP

<cak> Are they equally easy to work with--it's just the gauge that matters?

Sabine loves coppper too

<MaggieB> oh its HALLOWEEN

<Janet> COPPER IS A LITTLE HARDER TO BEND THAN SILVER. BRASS IS THE HARDEST TO BEND

<Janet> BUT IT'S ALL WORK-ABLE

<MaggieB> happy birthday KAT!

<Kaye> not here yet

<Janet> HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAT!!

<cak> Gotcha--thanks (and HB Kat)

<Kaye> same from me

<MaggieB> anno changed her name and made me realize

<kat> thanks all

<Pedstamper> Kat, it's dh bd and our anniversary too, happy bd to you

<MaggieB> sorry janet.....

<Kaye> how neat

MaggieB is waiting to get hit with a trout

<Janet> MY SPECIAL (ONE OF THEM) IS THAT IF YOU BUY SILVER OR GOLD-FILLED WIRE, I'LL SEND YOU EQUAL AMOUNT OF BRASS AND COPPER FREE TO PRACTICE WITH!

<kat> that's really neat pedstamper, tell him i said happy birthday

<annie> happy everything to everyone

Janet LOOKS FOR THE TROUT

Pedstamper thinks> Lib took the trout with her?

<Sabine> yes she did

MaggieB is hiding behind her desk chair from janet

<Janet> LOL

<Pedstamper> WOWOW, that is great Janet

Janet FINDS A RANCID SALMON TO HIT PEOPLE WITH

<MaggieB> yuck

<Kaye> gross

<Pedstamper> quit making me laugh, dh is trying to sleep

Janet SHOWS MAGGIE THE SALMON OF CORRECTION

<annie> ick

<Kriztina> ok happy birthdays anniversary halloween to all i'm off to bed

<Kaye> janet you were being way too good last class

<Janet> TAKE CARE, KRIZ

MaggieB wrestles the salmon away from janet

<MaggieB> night kriz

<Kaye> night

<Janet> I WAS ANGELIC LAST CLASS

<Pedstamper> and Reformation day for all you Lutherans

cak didn't think salmon would last long enough to go rancid with Janet's fab salmon recipie

<Kaye> no dought

<Janet> I'M A HUGE EVEDOM FAN

Sabine giggles

<Janet> I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION

<Kaye> i was writting a lot

<annie> how do you write in purple??

<Janet> NOW I'M BACK TO NORMAL!!

<MaggieB> kissing up huh?

<Kaye> sucking up

<Pedstamper> ok, come on I came to learn something gr8

<Sabine> slash me, annie

Janet WHAPS KAYE WITH THE SALMON JUST FOR FUN

<Janet> OKAY!!

<MaggieB> okay, okay, we will behave now

<MaggieB> just trying to stay awake

<Janet> CUT A PIECE OF WIRE OHHHH DEPENDS ON HOW LONG YOU WANT YOUR EARRING TO DANGLE

<JonaFromGe> hahaha

<Janet> TRY IT 10 INCHES LONG TO BEGIN WITH.

<Janet> IF IT IS COPPER OR BRASS, OR EVEN SILVER, IF YOU CUT OFF FOUR INCHES AND THROW IT AWAY, IT DOESN'T COST YOU MUCH

<Janet> (GOLD WIRE IS A WHOLE NOTHER STORY, IT COSTS ABOUT $35 A FOOT)

<MaggieB> yikes

<MaggieB> so work it out first

<Pedstamper> don't throw it away, use it on your collages

<Kaye> good thing i don't like gold

<Janet> SO ANYTHING I MAKE IN GOLD, I MAKE IN COPPER FIRST. THEN I "UNMAKE" IT AND MEASURE EXACTLY HOW MUCH I USED

<sparkle> Ped, some of us throw EVERYTHING away

<Sabine> that s a good tip

<sparkle> ROFL

<Pedstamper> lol sparkle

<Janet> AFTER CLASS, LOOK AT THE STERLING SILVER PRICES, THOUGH. YOU'LL BE SURPRISED AT HOW INEXPENSIVE IT REALLY IS

<Kaye> i save everything

<Sabine> I do too, Kaye

<Kaye> my dh askes before throwing anything away

<Janet> THIS FIRST PAIR OF EARRINGS... THIS WOULD ALSO LOOK GOOD MADE WITH ARTISTIC WIRE. A LOT OF US HAVE THAT FOR OUR COLLAGES.

<Pedstamper> great idea Janet, different colors and everything

<jane> I do too and that is why my dad recommends to me each time he comes to my house, to buy and move into a large warehouse.

<Janet> SO CUT ABOUT 12" OF IT AND LEAVE ABOUT AN INCH AT THE TOP OF YOUR SCREW AND WIND IT AROUND THE SCREW. IN THE GROOVES.

<Janet> http://www.weebewire.com/class/earring/screwy/index.html IS WHAT WE'RE MAKING NOW, ROSEM

<Pedstamper> groovy

<MaggieB> hey rosem!

<Janet> IF YOU WANT YOUR EARRING LONGER THAN YOUR SCREW?

<Janet> UNSCREW IT A BIT (JUST LIKE YOU'RE UNSCREWING THE SCREW OUT OF THE WIRE) AND THEN WIND SOME MORE

<jane> Get a longer screw?

<Janet> YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO!

<Janet> JUST UNSCREW SOME OF IT AND WIND IT MORE AT THE TOP

<jane> Ahhhh

<Janet> YOU CAN EVEN MAKE A HUGE NECKLACE WITH A SMALL SCREW BY DOING THIS

<Pedstamper> also if you want your earrings longer than your screw don't lose them

<Janet> WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR COIL PART AS LONG AS YOU WANT IT?

<Janet> MAKE A LOOP AT THE TOP AND HANG A BEAD OR TWO OR THREE AT THE BOTTOM

<jane> Cut it off?

<Janet> YES AND CUT THE EXCESS WIRE OFF

<Janet> THEN ATTACH AN EARWIRE

<Janet> AND THEY ARE FINISHED!

<Janet> HI, JAMIE!

<cak> May I suggest another alternative?

<Janet> EASY??

<Janet> YES, CAK?

<Jamie> HI everyone ;-)

<Sabine> hi Jamie

<jane> Hi, Jamie!

<annie> hi jamie

<witchy-poo> hi jamie

<cak> wind your wire around a popcycle stick (not too tight or you won't get it off)

<Janet> (MAKES A GREAT INEXPENSIVE GIFT)

<JonaFromGe> http://www.dm.net/~maggieb/classes.html

<Janet> OH!! THAT WOULD BE VERY COOL!!

<Janet> A WHOLE NOTHER LOOK

<Pedstamper> wow, so easy but so cool

<Janet> BUT THE SAME PROCESS

<cak> when you remove the wire, it'll automatically spiral

<JonaFromGe> and http://www.weebewire.com/class/earring/screwy/index.html

<Jamie> who is teaching this class...and when did it start?

<Janet> ME AND IT JUST STARTED MAYBE 20 MINUTES AGO

<JonaFromGe> Janet abotu 15 min ago

<Janet> AND YOUR TIMING IS PERFECT, WE'RE JUST READY TO MOVE TO A DIFFERENT PAIR OF EARRINGS

<Jamie> groovy

<Pedstamper> we've had a little class and a lot of salmon hitting

<Janet> ANY QUESTIONS ON THE SCREWY ONES?

<Janet> LOL YES

<Janet> (IT'S LATE AND I GET SILLY)

<Jamie> url?

<Jamie> silly is good

<Pedstamper> nope, great and easy instructions

<Janet> http://www.weebewire.com/class/earring/screwy/index.html

<Janet> LET'S GO TO THE GEMBALL EARRINGS NEXT.

<Janet> GO HERE: http://www.weebewire.com/class/earring/ballear/index.html

<Janet> THESE ARE A LITTLE HARDER BUT STILL EASY

<Janet> AND YOU WILL STILL BE USING THE LIGHT WIRE. 24 GAUGE OR 26 GAUGE. ARTISTIC WIRE WORKS FOR THIS ONE, TOO

<Janet> (BUT THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL MADE IN SILVER)

<Kaye> hold on how do you keep the bead in

<Pedstamper> ooh, nice earrings

<Janet> THIS IS COOL, KAY

<Janet> E

Pedstamper thinks> I know what I will make for friends for Christmas

<Janet> CUT AGAIN ABOUT 10-12" OF WIRE.

<cak> (I love these)

<annie> silly question but how do I go to the url and still stay connected to you guys??

<Pedstamper> tile your windows

<annie> oops

<MaggieB> dont you have kits for these janet?

<cak> you can open a new browser window

<annie> don't even know what that means....

<cak> (look under File)

<thejanet> AM I BACK?

<MaggieB> ye

<thejanet> I GOT KNOCKED OUT INSTEAD. LOL

<cak> (or use control-N if you're on a Windows machine)

<cak> you sure are janet

<thejanet> I'M GLAD WE WAITED. :)

<MaggieB> so janet dont you have kits for these earrings?

<thejanet> I DON'T HAVE KITS FOR THESE GEMBALL ONES, BUT IF YOU PICK OUT A GEMBALL YOU LIKE OUT OF THE PENDANT KITS?

<Pedstamper> look at the Window sign on your machine, click on it, then hit tile when both of the windows are open

<thejanet> OH! GOOD CLASS SPECIAL! BUY A PENDANT KIT AND I'LL SEND YOU THE EARRING KIT TO GO WITH IT FOR FREE

<thejanet> JUST FOR TONIGHT

<Pedstamper> wow

<MaggieB> woohoo janet

<cak> fabulous!

<thejanet> THAT'S A GOOD CLASS SPECIAL!

<Kaye> love that

<thejanet> (AND MAYBE I'LL SELL SOME PENDANT KITS )

<thejanet> LOL

<cak> that's a good anytime special

<MaggieB> lol

Pedstamper sneaking away to buy some stuff

<thejanet> I HAVEN'T SOLD ONE GEMBALL PENDANT KIT THIS WEEK. IT IS TIME !!

<Kaye> is that the circle one

<thejanet> SO ANYWAY, CUT 10" OF WIRE, OR 12" IF YOU'RE USING THE LARGER GEMBALLS. 10" FOR THE 4MM ONES

<thejanet> THAT IS THE CIRCLE ONE

<thejanet> AND THE EARRINGS ARE MADE THE SAME WAY AS IT, BUT LEFT LONG AND SWINGING

<Kaye> the tech term

<thejanet> (ALTHOUGH YOU CAN MAKE MINI-CIRCLE ONES FOR EARRINGS)

<Kaye> cool

<jane> Sorry, got knocked off.

<thejanet> YOU ARE NOT LIMITED JUST BY WHAT I'VE GOT ON THE SITE. YOU CAN ADAPT ANYTHING TO WHAT YOU WANT!

<thejanet> SO IF YOU WANTED LITTLE CIRCLES FOR EARRINGS, MAKE SMALL PENDANTS AND PUT EARWIRES ON THEM

<Jamie> do you sell just the kits...or spools of wire too, Janet?

<thejanet> I AM ALWAYS MAKING EARRINGS, DECIDING THEY ARE TOO BIG OR JUST DON'T MATCH WELL ENOUGH AND CALLING THEM TWO SMALL PENDANTS

<thejanet> I ALSO SELL THE WIRE BY THE FOOT

<thejanet> THAT'S THE OTHER SPECIAL, THAT IF YOU BUY SILVER WIRE, I'LL SEND YOU EQUAL FOOT OF PRACTICE WIRE FOR FREE

<RosemO> oooo I just saw your plier drawer thingie

<RosemO> I thinkie I need that

<thejanet> I LOVE MY PLIER DRAWER!!

<Jamie> sterling silver wire?

<thejanet> YES, FROM VERY LIGHT (24 GAUGE) TO PRETTY HEAVY

<Jamie> oh! I want a plier drawer thingie!

<Jamie> what's a plier drawer thingie?

<thejanet> 18 GAUGE OR 16 GAUGE. IF YOU WANT HEAVIER WIRE, WRITE AND ASK ME AND I'LL GET YOU A PRICE ON IT. I MAINLY TEACH THINGS PEOPLE CAN MAKE WITH ARTISTIC WIRE, SO YOU CAN MAKE IT WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY OWN

<JonaFromGe> Sabine Marina hat gerade geschrieben alle Gummis da:-)

<thejanet> LOL JAMIE

<Jamie> oh man

<Jamie> you should see what I already own!

<RosemO> lol it's on the tool page jamie

<thejanet> SO LET ME TELL YOU HOW TO MAKE THESE GEMBALL EARRINGS AND THE PENDANT

<thejanet> IT IS THE SAME INSTRUCTIONS

<Sabine> toll christa

<Jamie> which are very cool by the way, J.

<thejanet> (EXCEPT THE PENDANT YOU CUT MORE WIRE AND USE LARGER GEMBALLS)

<Pedstamper> Thingie is a technical term right?

<Jamie> yes!

<thejanet> THINGIE IS A TECHNICAL TERM :)

<Jamie> I have 200 plus rolls of wire

<Jamie> I need thngies!

<thejanet> SO CUT YOUR WIRE AND MAKE A LOOP AT THE TOP

<RosemO> thingie..very techinical

<thejanet> DOES ANYBODY NEED TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE A LOOP?

<RosemO> and understood by all

Pedstamper mouth dropping open @Jamie

<thejanet> I LOVE WIRE

<Pedstamper> we use the term a lot in medicine

<RosemO> lol

<RosemO> time to remove his thingie

<Jamie> ouch ;-)

<thejanet> I DON'T THINK I HAVE "MAKE A LOOP INSTRUCTIONS" IN THERE YET, BUT I WILL PUT PICTURES UP FOR TOMORROW.

<Pedstamper> hand me that thingie please

<Kaye> do you just use the rond nose pliers

<Pedstamper> you know that thingie that does that stuff

<annie> get the dead fish!

<Pedstamper> sorry

Pedstamper hanging head in shame

<thejanet> BUT BASICALLY YOU PUT YOUR ROUND NOSE PLIER JAW RIGHT WHERE YOU WANT YOUR LOOP TO BE ON THE WIRE, BEND THE WIRE 90 DEGREES (TO MAKE AN L SHAPE)...

thejanet SHOWS THE SALMON AGAIN

<JonaFromGe> my dd Sara(4) say good morning to you all

<thejanet> GUTEN MORGEN, SARA

<Sabine> guten morgen sara

<Pedstamper> please not the Salmon

<thejanet> LOL

<Kaye> morning sara

<Kaye> morning from texas

<thejanet> OKAY, AFTER YOU BEND THE L THEN BEND THE WIRE AROUND YOUR PLIER JAW (TO MAKE A LOOP

<Pedstamper> real ? the janet, what is a plier jaw?

<annie> what is afk?

<thejanet> HALF THE PLIERS.

<thejanet> YOU KNOW HOW THERE ARE TWO PARTS OF THEM AND YOU GRAB STUFF WITH THEM?

<Kaye> ok cool

<Pedstamper> oh,

<thejanet> WELL, JUST ONE OF THEM IS A JAW

<thejanet> BOTH OF THEM ARE DA JAWS

Pedstamper thinks> light goes on

<cak> (Away From Keyboard)

<thejanet> LOL

<Kaye> i may be able to do this

<annie> thanks

<JonaFromGe> Ok I have to leave but will still log thank you Janet

<Kaye> i don't have much faith in my wire skill

<thejanet> THEN AFTER YOU BEND THE WIRE AROUND THE (ONE) JAW TO MAKE THE ROUND PART, PULL THE PLIER OUT OF THERE AND GRAB THE WHOLE LOOP YOU JUST MADE AND WIND THE WIRE AROUND THE HANGY DOWN PART OF THE WIRE TO SECURE THE LOOP

<Jamie> bye Jona

<Kaye> bye joan

<Pedstamper> auf weidershoen

<thejanet> SO. YOU HAVE A LOOP.

<Jamie> nice try

<Sabine> tsch٤ christa

<thejanet> NOW STRING ALL YOUR GEMBALLS ON THE LONG HANGY DOWN WIRE

<JonaAFK> auf wiedersehen

<Pedstamper> hangy down part is another technical term

<thejanet> AND SEE THE PICTURE?

<Jamie> I like long hangy down thingies

<thejanet> PULL THE WIRE ACROSS THE FIRST BEAD AND WRAP IT AROUND THE WIRE THAT IS RUNNING THROUGH ALL THE BEADS

<thejanet> THIS IS EASIER TO SEE IN THE PICTURES THAN TO EXPLAIN

<Sabine> ooh yes

<thejanet> AND KEEP DOING THAT UNTIL THE LONG HANGY DOWN PART OF THE WIRE IS UP AT YOUR LOOP.

<Pedstamper> wow, this makes sense

<thejanet> THEN YOU WIND IT AROUND AND CUT OFF THE EXTRA

<thejanet> AND YOU ARE DONE! ATTACH AN EARWIRE AND VOILA!

<thejanet> THE PENDANT IS DONE THE EXACT SAME WAY

Pedstamper thinks> can't wait to make these

Sabine can«t wait to get to the store

<Pedstamper> does that earring with pendant apply to the victorian pendant?

<thejanet> EXCEPT WHEN YOU HAVE THE LINE OF BEADS DONE, YOU MAKE A CIRCLE WITH THEM, RUN THE EXTRA WIRE THAT YOU HAVEN'T CUT OFF YET UNDER THE WIRE ON THE BOTTOM BEAD AND YOU HAVE A CIRCLE!

<thejanet> SURE, IF YOU'D RATHER HAVE THE VICTORIAN PENDANT KIT, BUY THAT

<Pedstamper> otay

<thejanet> AND THEN PUT IN SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS NOTE YOU WANT THE FREE EARRING KIT TO GO WITH IT

<RosemO> hany down thingies

<RosemO> gotta like that

<thejanet> DON'T TRUST ME TO REMEMBER THIS!! I MEAN IT. I'LL BE PACKING AND MAILING ALL THE ORDERS OVER THE WEEKEND AND I WILL FORGET BY THEN. PUT IT DOWN IN THE SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS SO I REMEMBER!!

<thejanet> ANNIE, SEEING THE PICTURES?

<annie> yeah! hooray!

<thejanet> YAY!!

RosemO wonders if she missed a good plier drawer thingie special...like "Full o stuff"

<thejanet> ANY QUESTIONS ON THESE?

<thejanet> AS A MATTER OF FACT, ROSEM... LAST NIGHT RUBBER RABBIT WANTED THE PLIER DRAWER FULL OF WIRE, MIXED ASSORTMENT OF SILVER WIRE

<cak> would you use heavier wire with larger beads?

<thejanet> AND THAT SPECIAL WAS $30 TOTAL FOR THE DRAWER FULL OF WIRE

<thejanet> YES, CAK I WOULD

<annie> another dumb question- what do the hammer icons and the "talk cloud" icons mean?

<cak> (rats!

RosemO wonders if she can get an extension on that special

<thejanet> BUT THERE'S A LIMIT TO HOW HEAVY OF WIRE YOU CAN USE. IT HAS TO GO THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE BEADS

<cak> lol--I make beads with pretty big holes!

<thejanet> OKAY, YEAH, HOW ABOUT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT, ANY OF THESE SPECIALS.

<thejanet> BUT YOU MUST REMIND ME OF THEM!!

<thejanet> I HAVE A MIND LIKE A STEEL SIEVE

<cak> (btw, the hammer means one has operator privleges and cloud is a regular chatter?)

<thejanet> YES, I THINK SO

<thejanet> LET'S GET EVERYBODY HAMMERS

<Kaye> cool

<thejanet> SO NOW YOU CAN HAMMER YOUR WIRE AND MAKE IT LOOK ALL ARTISTIC LOOKING :)

<cak> cool!

<Kaye> janet the dh gets paid friday

<Kaye> oh yeah and he is in california

<thejanet> THIS DESIGN LOOKS TOTALLY BEAUTIFUL USING PEARLS

<Pedstamper> tell him to come see me, I'm in CA

<thejanet> OR CZECH GLASS CRYSTALS

RosemO looks at everybody getting hammered

<Kaye> put him on the plane this morning

<thejanet> LOL

<thejanet> ON WIRE! I LIKE THAT

<annie> thank you all for answering my questions - I'm just learning how to be in class....and thanks, Janet for a fun class.

<Pedstamper> Janet, easy instructions and great patience, thanks

<thejanet> MAKING JEWELRY IS ONE OF THE MOST INEXPENSIVE PRESENTS YOU CAN GIVE SOMEONE, AND THEY LOVE IT!

<thejanet> ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

<Kaye> what is the deal with the metal block

<Kaye> do u understand the questions

<thejanet> IF i DON'T KNOW I MAKE UP VERY CREATIVE ANSWERS

<thejanet> YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE WIRE JEWELRY AND FUND MY RETIREMENT, PED

<thejanet> LOL

<thejanet> OH! THE ANVIL!

<Pedstamper> no prob Janet, gotta convince dh though

<Kaye> like the cartoons

<Sabine> Annie ?

<thejanet> I COULD SELL YOU AN ANVIL, BUT THEY ARE SO HEAVY IT WOULD COST TOO MUCH TO SHIP AND YOU CAN BUY THEM AT THE HARDWARE STORE

<annie> what?

<Sabine> try ype in purple

<thejanet> AND UNTIL I GOT AN ANVIL I JUST WENT AND HAMMERED MY WIRE ON MY FRONT WALK

<Kaye> what department do i look in

<Sabine> type slash blank me and then your text

<annie> how do I do it?

<thejanet> LOOK BY THE HAMMERS

<Sabine> type this where you chat

<Sabine> type the slash

<annie> /blank me did I do it right?

<Kaye> cool off to home depot

<thejanet> OH! BUT WHEN YOU ARE HAMMERING YOUR WIRE?

<annie> duh

<thejanet> HOLD YOUR PIECE IWTH TWEEZERS OR SOMETHING

<Pedstamper> yes

<Pedstamper> Y?

<thejanet> YOU CAN POUND THE CRAP OUTTA YOUR FINGERS

<thejanet> DON'T ASK ME HOW I KNOW THAT

<Kaye> did you see the earrings in the bead and button

thejanet LOST A FINGERNAIL THE FIRST TIME SHE HAMMERED HER WIRE

<Kaye> not good

<Pedstamper> thank you for that, if anyone would do it it would be me

<thejanet> JUST HAMMERED MY THUMB AND LOST THE NAIL

<Pedstamper> owwwwwwwwww

<cak> yikes! what you will do for your art!!

<thejanet> IT DIDN'T HURT AT THE TIME

<thejanet> BUT TURNED BLACK

<thejanet> THEN THE NAIL FELL OFF

<thejanet> IT WAS NOT PLEASANT

<annie> /now?

<thejanet> SO HOLD YOUR STUFF WITH PLIERS OR TWEEZERS OR SOMETHING

<Sabine> oh sorry annie

<thejanet> LOL SPARKLE. SORRY ABOUT THAT.

<thejanet> BUT YOU LOOKED SMARTER THAN ME<G>

sparkle curses janet

<thejanet> (SO I WAS WRONG. lol)

<sparkle> well, it was a fake nail, so that was smart

<Pedstamper> thanks for the great class, why would we pound the wire

<sparkle> but it still HURT

<annie> ok - I guess purple isn't all that it is cracked up to be!

<Kaye> hey sparkle

<thejanet> YOU CAN FLATTEN THE WIRE AND MAKE IT LOOK ALL ARTISTIC

<thejanet> OH!

<thejanet> IF YOU HAVE A SCRAP OF FATTER WIRE

<thejanet> LIKE 16 OR 18 GAUGE WIRE?

<thejanet> MAKE A LOOP ON ONE END AND A COIL OR SOME BENDS ON THE OTHER END

<thejanet> THEN HAMMER IT!

<Pedstamper> who wants fat wire?

<thejanet> YOU WILL BE IMPRESSED AT WHAT YOU MADE

<thejanet> I DO! I LOVE FAT WIRE!

<Pedstamper> ok, now I get it

<thejanet> (IT MATCHES MY FAT BUTT)

<Pedstamper> you must be able to see into my den, I have one too

<thejanet> OR MAKE A COIL AND HAMMER IT AND PUT IT ON A COLLAGE OR A BOOK OR A CARD

<thejanet> DON'T THROW AWAY SCRAP WIRE. MAKE A COLLAGE ELEMENT WITH IT!

<Pedstamper> gr8 idea
