Hi Maya, I’m so sorry for the mix-up…. the tutorial is not on my site, it is a PDF file I send out directly thru email, and I sent it out to you on 10/13 when I got the order. Please check your emails (I sent it to the email provided by Paypal), and let me know that you got it ok – if not, I will resend to a different email if you need. Again – sorry for the mix-up!!

In case you get this after all these years… I’m in Annapolis and plan to reference several of your projects for use in the Jewelry Club we have at the Senior Center there. Looks like your “frog” FB page is going well. Sorry you stopped posted, just found your blog via Pinterest. You have so many great ideas and information posted! Thanks!

BTW, I had to smile when I saw what a fan you are of DAX! John M. (Dax in the movie so long ago) is doing well, lives in my community and goes to my church!
Sincerely,
Leigh

How do I order a beading jig?

Reply

Hi Gail,
Thanks for the interest! I sell my bead crochet starter jig thru my Etsy site: http://www.etsy.com/shop/StudioDax
There are 2 options – the jig w/CD tutorial, and the kit version, which also includes the correct size crochet hook and needles.

Jan 22, 2015 – Thank you so very much. Your detailed teachings are so easy to understand and follow. I thank you also for taking the time. I too work with copper, wire and flat wire. I just love making things and watching them become a piece. Thank you again DianneB

I have looked thru my records on my Etsy store to find you, but I am unable to find any orders with your name, this email, the town Hamlin, or your Zip (04785).. I know that people can change their names and emails, and they also move – can you please let me know what name, email, or address you used when you placed the order??

Hi- first of all, thanks for tutorials. I feel strongly in the sharing of artistic knowledge, and some wrappers don’t seem to understand that no one is trying to “steal” their jewelry, and are tight lipped with well explained tutorials/videos. Plenty have taken painting classes, but had Van Gogh taught one, he wouldn’t have created more Van Gough’s (I’m trying to decide if I am embarrassingly spelling that wrong). I am having some uncertainty on buying wire. I am still working in copper, for price, and because silver finishes tend to wear while weaving. I enjoy all shades of copper wire, but I won’t use anything covered in plasticish material or a thin thin finish. I’m not crazy about the bright golden looking copper that always seems available in larger quantities in stores. I’d rather it look like a Med to old penny. I enjoy browns, greens– things that well, go with copper and red hair. I use 18-28 g half hard round. I’ve never welded or hammered. People using silver and silver plate all seem to go to Rio Grande, but they have far less copper than other metals and I don’t know if it is the right “kind”. I wish the colors I liked to use were also sold in bulk and I wish it all was the same color all the way through. I’m going to send a pic of my favorite earrings I’ve made, which is green is metallic but not too shiny “permanently colored Artistic Wire” from Hobby Lobby and the brown is a coated copper; shiny in gold in center, this pretty dark metallic brown outside. Where and what kind of copper wire can I buy in bulk? As far as colors; I want it all metal half hard just tell me what is either solid and colored or the best brands for long lasting color even when weaving. I need help!

Hi Tara,
I’m glad you enjoy the tutorials… I don’t really post anything here anymore, but I am so happy that the blog is continuing to be helpful to folks! Unfortunately, I do not do any weaving – I am a sterling and copper kinda maker!! If you like the look of solid copper (not coated), you can buy it by the spool at hardware stores (or online thru hardware sites) for a very good price. I’ve been doing that or years – much better quality and price than buying copper wire that is made specifically for jewelry – but it is uncoated, and will oxidize/age (which I like). I am not amiliar enough with any of the coated wires, so I can’t help with that – so sorry!

Would like to order your crochet jig but it will only let me choose pay pal. I would rather not use that method, just my credit card. Thank you, Sandy

Hi Sandra,
Thanks so much for your interest in the StudioDax Bead Crochet Rope Starter Jig. Paypal is just the merchant I use for processing; anyone taking credit cards uses a merchant processor, although most of them are transparent to the customer (Paypal is more visible, since they allow additional options for buyers who want to use a Paypal balance). Even though your order is processed through Paypal, you can still use your credit card the same as you do anywhere else – there is no need to sign up for Paypal, and there is no fee associated with it for you. I do not use any other merchant processor on Etsy, but you can pay by echeck (in this case, I will ship the jig after the echeck clears thru Etsy, so it takes an extra week or so). If you have other concerns about Paypal, I can provide additional info, but it does not affect your purchase at all. Thanks,

Randi / StudioDax
