More Hero Arts News

Earlier this week I shared with my readers about my recent visit to the Hero Arts Factory Store in Richmond, California. I recently received an e-mail from Hero Arts telling me about a meet-up on Wednesday afternoons.   Share ideas, techniques and inspiration with new and old friends while you make cards, scrapbook and/or work on any other crafting projects.  There will be some Hero Arts products out for you to play with!  So bring your WIPs (works in progress) and come have some fun. Their first meet-up starts on Wednesday, May 13 from 1 pm to 5 pm.

Have you always wanted to learn how to make a shaker card?  Well the time is now!  Martha and Terry will be showing you how to do just that in their next class on June 1 from 1 pm to 3 pm.  The cost is $25 for an entertaining afternoon.

Don't those events sound like fun to you? They sure do to me, I'm planning on making a visit again soon.

Have a great week!

All About Clasps

Welcome to Tuesdays with Terri - Jewelry! Today I am reviewing the various types of clasps available on the market to finish necklaces or bracelets. These are the basic styles of clasps available, they come in many different shapes and sizes.

When choosing a clasp to finish a piece of jewelry I try to select one that is cohesive to the jewelry that I am making. I also take into consideration the weight of the piece. I would not want to attempt to hold a heavy lampworked necklace with a magnetic clasp because it would likely disconnect and fall possibly losing the necklace or breaking the beads.

I hope you have found my video informative. I will be posting a video on how to secure a clasp using beading wire and crimp tubes in the next Tuesday's with Terri - Jewelry. I hope you will stop by again
