cluster rings look great have bookmarked site thankyou. i have used shrink plastic in my card and scrapbook making but never in jewellery something else to try. i have just recieved my fimo through so im going to attempt to make some beads,but thats probably a project i will have to put on hold till my girls go back to school. are we allowed to link to facebook pages on here does anyone know

I think if its a presonal account your not but I can't be sure. I'm looking for wine coloured beads to do this project http://www.docrafts.com/project/Wine-Jewellery-Set/p3281298/tDetails
I know it has a kit there but its not sold anymore. Anyone know where I can get some nice wine coloured beads that aren't too expensive

I don't think we are but you can set it as your homepage in your profile and tell people to look there.

I don't understand why my images won't show up, I've tried flickr and photobucket. I copy and paste the URL into the bar that comes up for pictures right ?

Yes but make sure you delete the text that's already in the box first otherwise there are two hhtp:// and it won't work.

Thanks, I used 0.6 last time and it held it's shape to a degree - and was easy to work with but if i moved my arm much the bracelet fell off. maybe i had too much weight on it?? I'll try and post a pic tomorrow.

How many circles of memory wire are you using at a time. I tend to make most of mine with 3 loops. No way they'll fall off then!

I've got some pictures of my makes on my blog - feel free to have a look (you'll have to go to older posts as I have cakes as the most recent posts! lol).

Lovely stuff ladies. I've been concentrating on bracelets as I can't finish off necklaces properly (you know, the bit where you attach it to the catch) and never tried rings.....
