Entry #10

This week, I came upon crimp beads at Michaels Craft Store as provided in the image below. Crimp beads are used for bending wire. I use crimp beads at the beginning and end of my beading work. The process is simple, all I do is slide the bead and use my pliers to crush it on to the string. With that process, the beads won't fall off of the end. It's basically like tying a knot but a lot easier. Using this new technique has been helpful because they assemble a strand of elements for wire wrapped jewelry creations. At this point, I have learned many new techniques and substitutions that make my jewelry last longer and stronger. Finding out about new tools that work efficiently with my jewelry has been pleasant and it has saved me lots of time. This week has consisted of trying out new things and in this case it's crimp beads. I'm having a great time and I am awaiting the final result.
