"Fast and Thrifty" shipping for $5.10: |
|
|
|
|
We have added a lot of interesting beads in
the last month and have more to come. To make your purchases
more affordable, we have added "Fast and Thrifty" shipping
as an option via USPS Priority Mail. You can choose this type
of shipping if your package weighs under one pound and if it
will fit in a standard USPS video box or an 8 x 11 inch flat
envelope. If for some reason, your products weigh over a pound,
or don't fit in the box, Molly will contact you. Please note:
there is no tracking when this option is selected.

A Few of My Favorite Things: |
|
|
|
|
Silicone Polishing Wheels – If you want to rid your metal of those little
dings and divots using a silicone polishing wheel is an easy
effective way to do it. The grit varies from coarse to ultra-fine
(see TPO-0619,
TPO-0620,
TPO-0621,
TPO-0622,
TPO-0632).
If the marks are deep, start with a coarse wheel and finish with
a fine or ultra-fine wheel. Besides the polishing wheel and the
attachment mandrel, you will need a flex
shaft or a Dremel to accomplish this. Don’t forget
to wear safety
glasses and a particulate
mask.
Color Tool – If
you are trying to put great colors together you might try this
handy and informative tool. It is easy to match the focal color
you are working with (a color wheel has many fewer selections)
and on the back of each page you will find color various combinations
that will work beautifully. I like being able to select the recommended
cards to see what it might look like before I dig into my beads.
Many of us have some basic information about color combining
(including me), but when it comes to putting unique colors together,
I need a tool like this. |

|
|
|
|
All Lindstrom tools have been reduced for
our special sale. Lindstrom pliers are considered by many to
be the best pliers in the world. I have used Lindstroms for over
10 years, and as a matter of fact, I am still using my first
set.
If you have any hand discomfort when making
jewelry, or if you want to prevent potential problems from developing,
the RX (ergonomic) pliers may be just the ticket.
There is now a tutorial/information page
from the manufacturer on how to care for your Lindstrom Tools
listed on the Education
Page - you can also download the info as a PDF
if you wish to print it out. See Care
Sheet Page. |
