WigJig Newsletter 050109 on Jewelry making, Jewelry Supplies, Beads and Wire

WigJig News:
For vendors selling our WigJig tools, we have added a new web page that provides access to a single sheet of instructions on how to make the chandelier earrings shown below. This sheet of instructions is provided in the Adobe Acrobat format and is rather large so that it will print clearly. We authorize any vendors selling our WigJig tools to print these instructions and give a copy of these instructions to any customer who purchases a WigJig tool or accessory. Our newsletter subscribers are also welcome to print and use these instructions. To access these instructions, please visit the following web page:

On Sale:
We update the jewelry supplies that we have "On Sale" with every newsletter. A small sample of the products we have for sale at discounted prices are shown below. Please click on any of the text below the pictures to view our entire list of sale items. Select the picture itself to view that specific item in our Internet store. This sale will be effective through January 21, 2005 or until we run out of that item.

Free Jewelry Design:
With every newsletter we provide a new jewelry design from WigJig University to spur the creative juices. The new design for this newsletter is the design for the Deluxe Duplex Earrings shown at right. These earrings are a chandelier earring design that coordinates with our Deluxe Duplex bracelet described in our last newsletter. The earrings shown at right were made using the WigJig Delphi, so the wire components are slightly smaller that the wire components made on the WigJig Olympus Lite for the bracelet. Select here to view our instructions for making these Deluxe Duplex Earrings.

Past Techniques:
We maintain a techniques web page that provides links to the discussion of techniques in our prior newsletters. You can visit this web page here. Follow the links on that page to the discussion of the technique in that newsletter.

Jewelry Technique:
This weeks jewelry technique is the beginning of a series of techniques on how to make letters using our WigJig Jewelry Making tools. The letters shown at right were made on the WigJig Delphi and are about 1 inch tall. As they say in Sesame Street, this weeks newsletter is brought to you by the letters A, B, C and D. We will continue this series, until we have the entire alphabet.

We have had many, many requests for how to make letters in wire. We were reluctant to start this project until we had a design for all 26 letters. At this point, we have the techniques for making all the letters defined, we just need to make the letters, take the pictures and program the instructions into our web site. Once we have documented how to make the entire alphabet, we will do a necklace project showing how to incorporate the letters into a jewelry item. The letters that we will make are also appropriate for use in scrap books.

All of the letters made will be upper case letters and will be approximately 1 inch tall. You can view our instructions for how to make these letters here, or my selecting the picture or text at right.
