"Hi! Kathleen Wright from Kathleen Wright Jewelry, hennaparties.com. To continue with our pliers, these are the additional one’s I would suggest. These don’t have a cuter in them but that’s good because you can use pieces to small pieces that you’ve already cut size wise and you can just continue them and they would finish the wire and you wouldn’t have to cut them all. But today I’m going to use, you may also find some good pliers made in Germany or overseas, they’re usually better. I’m going to show you right now these are just basic stones, they have a fairly large hole so I’m going to be able to use my heavier gage sterling here and I’m making a little chunkier piece. So the first thing I’m going to do is I’m going to start off with the first one and I’m going to leave about this much space at the top and then I’m going to start to curl it over and by curling it over I’m going to give myself some room, I’m going to get the wire around the tip and then I’m going to tuck to twist next.

on 9/14/2009 This whole series needs very close-up shots on the jewelry and on the techniques demonstrated. As is, you can barely see what's being pointed out. The shots need to get completely away from the person presenting and zoom in on the beads, wire, and hands. In case that's still not enough, please specify measurements of wire, names of tools right from the beginning of the procedure, otherwise, the viewer has an impression of not getting it, which leads to frustration. Because the communication of information is casual while the visibility is not good, it gives the impression of being disorganized.
