 Jewelry Technique:
This
week's jewelry making technique is a discussion on how to make the
advanced beginner's clasp used in our Flemish Spiral Bracelet shown above. You can
view this clasp at right. Making this clasp is an advanced beginner's jewelry
making project because it involves wrapping wire around itself. For those readers who like to make their own findings,
this is an excellent project. Please select the picture above-right,
or select here to view our
free instructions for making this beginner's clasp.
 Nostalgia Corner:
 This
week's featured design in our Nostalgia Corner is the design for our Simple
Jewelry Wire and Beads Ring shown left and right. These rings are an
advanced beginners jewelry making project. To make one of these rings
you will need one of our WigJig jewelry making tools, a ring mandrel, a
nylon hammer, and the standard jewelry pliers and cutter. One
aspect of this ring design that we failed to mention when we first published
this design is that it can be made into a very nice toe ring when you finish
the ring without the bead.

Jewelry Wire & Beads Ring Project shown

Warning! Joke Follows.
This is only a joke. We tell jokes because we are in favor of smiling,
laughing and being happy. This does not mean that we are opposed to
anyone or anything.
If you have ever in your entire life been offended by
any joke -- please skip the below paragraphs. It is not our intention to
offend anyone! We don't write these jokes, we only re-tell jokes that
we have heard on the public radio, television or over the Internet.
Boomer Humor:
These jokes are modifications of jokes posted on the London
Daily Telegraph web site in the Speaker's Corner. The jokes were
submitted by readers in London and have been modified to fit here. If
you don't like these jokes, please remember, this is British humor.
A man and a woman are applying for a job at the circus.
The circus manager asks the man to go into the lions cage and teach the
lions some tricks and the man says ladies first. At that the lady goes
into the lion's cage and the lions begin to snarl and snap. The lady
takes off all her clothes and goes up to the largest male lion who proceeds
to lick her all over. The circus manager turns to the man and says,
"Can you do that?" The man says "Without question. Just get
those lions out of there and I'll be happy to show you."
Here is one more quick joke:
A man goes into the movies and sits down. In front of
him he sees Boomer sitting in Gary's lap. As the man watches the
movie, he is surprised to see that Boomer cries at the sad parts, laughs at
the funny parts, and bites his nails at the scary parts. After the
movie, the man says to Gary, "I am surprised by your dog. He really
seemed to enjoy that movie." Gary responds "I'm surprised also.
Boomer really didn't like the book."
