MAKING DESIGN: With every newsletter we provide a free design from WigJig University to spur the creative juices. This newsletter's free design is the design for the Corkscrew Earrings shown at right. These earrings use a 1/4 inch dowel to make the corkscrew shape. As you can see above, this dowel is on sale as part of the Metal Dowel Set (Item 0116). You can view instructions for how to make these earrings here.

Tip of the week:
The size of the wire component that you make is decided by several factors. One of these factors is the jig you use to make the component. Another factor is whether you position the pegs on the horizontal/vertical axis of the jig or on the diagonal axis. Any component made on the WigJig Olympus will be 25% larger than the same component made with the same peg pattern on the WigJig Delphi. Any component made using the diagonal pattern will be 70% as big as the same component made using the horizontal/vertical pattern. Both jigs are shown at right with the same peg pattern in both the horizontal/vertical orientation and in the diagonal orientation. The pieces made in the purple wire were made on the Delphi and the pieces made in brass were made on the Olympus-Lite. The picture below shows these pieces side by side so that you can appreciate the difference in sizes. Hopefully, this will provide you one more design option.
