| Metal Mesh Ribbon | |
|
|
Metal Tubular Mesh Ribbon Very fine mesh ribbon/tube of metal in either gold or silver colors. You can use it as a thin ribbon, you can stretch it cross-wise to form a wider ribbon or you can cut the tube open to make it an even wider, flatter ribbon. In addition to traditional ribbon uses, I'm thinking it would look great as stockings or a tunic on an art doll. I haven't seen this around much yet so I hope you'll let me know what you're doing with it. 6mm wide X 1meter long $5.50

3 Pewter Bails These pewter bails are ready to hang from cord or chain in your necklace, brooch and mixed media art designs. They are 3 different styles so that you can match them to your designs.
Bails |

|
Sterling Silver Crimps/Tubes (~50) Yes, they are the perfect crimp beads when you use our Crimp Pliers to close them, but we're excited because they are great when metalsmithing to use as tubes to lift one piece of metal up above another (see photo). We have these in copper too! If you are making rivets, these are perfectly sized for 20 Gauge Wire. $7.50 (~50)
Copper Crimp Beads (~50)These copper crimp beads are much better quality than what you usually find in craft stores and they are made from solid copper. They work perfectly with our new Crimp Bead Pliers and can also be used as spacers to raise one sheet of metal above another for a layered effect (see above). We have these in Sterling Silver too! $4.00 (~50)

Copper Lobster Claw Clasps For all of your copper necklaces and bracelets, these large, easy-to-handle antiqued copper plated clasps are perfect. $3.50 |
 |
Copper Jump Rings Sorry, we are temporarily Note about copper chain maille: Copper is a little softer than sterling silver. I recommend that you tumble-harden your piece after you've made it to harden the rings. it isn't completely necessary but adds a little security. If you solder, you might want to solder the rings that attach to the clasp ends. |
Sterling Silver Jump Rings Each bag contains ~100 sterling silver rings (sold by weight). They are the perfect size for attaching charms and dangly things to your books, chain maille, jewelry making, bales on soldered items, etc. We use these a lot! Machine-cut and tumbled. Size 18 gauge wire (finished rings are 6.65 - 7mm) Sorry, temporarily out of sterling jumps
We have instructions for opening and
closing jump rings correctly and other thoughts in "The Muse" |

Omni-Gel It's a transfer medium. No, it's for oil painting effects. No, it's a glue. Omni-Gel is a wonderful medium (a heavy liquid) that can do so many things! My favorite use is for transferring images onto glass, leather, metal, wood, almost anything! It is much thicker than acrylic gel medium so the transfers are much, much more durable and easy to handle. Easy to use and the effects are incredible. 8 Fl. Oz. Instructions on bottle. 10.50 Find out how to do an Omni-Gel transfer onto glass.

I love Omni-Gel! The cover of this book was made by transferring (with a hot, flat iron) the image (from an ink jet print) to a piece of glass. Then the glass was soldered to the cover of a Petite Metal Journal cover. The pages are the novel Peter Pan, which we sell as a Book in Sheets. |
| Mica | ||
| Large Mica Pieces The pieces are large: they average 25 square inches each. You can use them as windows in book covers or even whole pages in a book. They are safe for rubber stamping, enameling, kiln firing, and embossing. Sandwich photos or dried flower petals between the sheets. Use them in collages, paint on them, write on them, eyelet them (the Japanese Screw Punch is perfect for making holes in mica). I've even seen mica used in beautiful soft soldered lamp shades. The light shows through the mica for a muted effect. $6.50 / 1/2 oz.
Save 10% on 1 oz. package |

Each package contains a minimum of 1/2 oz. or 1 oz. large mica piece(s) which can be used as-is or can be easily split into several thinner pieces. Some of the random pieces are long and thin and others are more square. Please let us choose for you. The 5" square pieces are exactly what they sound like they are. There may be small imperfections such as missing corners, spots, etc. Please consider these artistic opportunities. |
| Leafing Pens | |
| Krylon Leafing Pen These are the BEST leafing pens! They dispense opaque metallic paint in your choice of colors:
The chiseled tip allows for either broad or fine lines. Use them to highlight the edges of cards or to paint wood. I like to use them to add sparkle and drama around the edges of each page layer in our Christmas Star Book Kit. They work for so many things because the paint is heavy and opaque and because they are made with real metal. Keep out of the reach of children. Follow instructions on package. $8.50
