Text of the page (random words):
elry vendors especially the ones who sell silver jewelry sales were better for them on sunday so i m thinking the type of jewelry and price points we sell could be a factor to our observations sunday drew younger crowds and people who sell lower priced items do better on sundays a lot of interesting people visited our booth and added popnicute jewelry in their collection there were several ladies wearing an army of bracelets in their wrists who bought popnicute s skinny bangles a nice couple who brought home a fold formed necklace and a pair of fold formed earrings bracelets were popular sold 8 of those there was a gallery owner and her daughter who had joined custody of their jewelry brought home the salmon skin necklace that was held by vince gill the country singer and she was quite pleased by it and many others we ve got 2 offers to consign and some of the visitors even remembered me from the last show i did two years ago we couldn t do it last year how s that for an ego boost vince gill and popnicute jewelry i love it when the visitors show a great interest on the process and the materials i had quite a few people asked what argentium silver is as they read my business cards i will gladly educate them and share the process of making my jewelry whenever it s asked i feel it s important for them to know and understand the efforts involved in making them it made them feel more appreciative for the arts popnicute s new business cards will i do this show again absolutely as for my display i basically used what i had with the exception of painting the vintage boxes with creamy grey chalk paint and three new display items the bamboo spice rack which i bought for displaying cuffs as it turns out it was great for displaying my earring boxes i glued on cabinet bumpers as feet to stop it from sliding off the table top spice rack as earring display what i used as earring cards above are actually business cards in the past i ve made my own from kraft cardstock paper sold in hobby stores but they are flimsy and in result they re curved from the weight of the earrings luckily i found these business card blanks on amazon they came in a box of 100 cards they re thick and the width is perfect for my earring boxes they re only 1 2 longer than the box so i scored and fold it then drill holes for the ear wires it fits nicely inside the box it doesn t sag and harder to take out than my old ones which would hopefully prevent those sticky fingers from lifting my earrings business card blanks for earring cards the newly painted box got metallic champagne faux leather lining i liked the colors better than the medium brown suede they once had i think this new color brightened up my booth and show off the jewelry better could also be the reason why i sold more jewelry this time around look at the pictures below do you think the bottom photos show an improvement old display from 2014 2016 display 2016 display 2016 display i ve also solved the no electricity problem not that it was a problem for this show as the sky was bright on both days but for indoor or when it s darker where no generator is allowed or any electricity offered it will be useful since my led clamp lights came with usb connectors i bought a 20 000 mah power bank with 4 slots to power my lights for the whole saturday from 10 am 5 pm or 7 hours these 4 lights which were lit all the way through only used about half its power i still charged it at night just in case since it s a power bank battery it s very quiet and very compact in size it s a win in my book 20 000 mah power bank that s all for today i hope you enjoyed reading my experience with edwards place fine art fair this year posted by kharisma sommers at 9 01 pm 11 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday august 8 2016 beginners guide to sawing with knew concepts jewelers saw knew concepts is a fairly new name in the jewelry industry they introduced a new concept as the brand name clearly stated to sawing to install the blade instead of pushing the frame into the sternum like the standard german saw frame lee marshall who refers himself as the saw guy invented a tensioning system that basically lets the frame does the tensioning for you brilliant no i ve heard split opinions on knew concepts jeweler s saw some people love it and others hate it i m in the first group i love it so what makes knew concepts saw special let me tell you kharisma from popnicute com not state farm knew concepts jeweler s saw with cam lever tensioning system is lightweight rigid frame and you get the perfect tension with a flip of a switch it s great for piercing jobs as you don t have to break your sternum to finish a jewelry the lightweight frame allows you to saw longer without getting hand fatigue flip that lever basic blade installation guide the correct way to install the blade is the teeth should be pointing down and facing out the smaller the blade gets the harder it is to see the teeth the next best thing besides wearing a magnifier is to feel the blade with your finger stroke it up gently to feel the teeth of the blade the blade size in this diagram is an exaggeration to show it better insert the blade make sure the tension knob is unscrewed to the max then tighten the top knob unscrew it flip the cam lever to the opposite side to instantly tensioning the blade screw the tension knob clockwise to add the tension until you find the perfect tension you only need to do this once the future blade changing is as easy as flipping the switch that s it flip it once flip it good sawing guide lube your blade for better sawing experience i use a candle wax beeswax can also be used with lubricant the blade cuts smoother resists breaking and lasts up to twice as long this is how you saw a tight angle cut from two different directions it will produce a nice sharp point and you ll avoid breaking a blade for corners bigger than 90 you can easily cut through it in one pass just keep your blade moving while turning the piece around finger safety measure always place fingers that are holding the sheet down on the solid area of the bench and no one will get cut how to avoid premature blade breakage there are many ways to avoid premature blade breakage one of them is to soften your grip by having the pinky out however i found that it s more comfortable for me to have my index finger out holding the saw handle with only 3 fingers and a thumb will relax your grip a whole lot you just have to find which method works best for you watch this video below to get 8 tips to saw better and neater with less blade breakage subscribe to popnicute on youtube one method i use to saw neater is by using the thinnest line possible my favorite is to draw in adobe illustrator a vector based program using 0 25 pt line inkscape is the free alternative to adobe illustrator here i ll show you a little snippet on the difference between using a sharpie and 0 25 pt line 0 25 pt line is just about the size of a saw blade so your eyes can focus much better if you saw a thick line your eyes would wander off left and right confusing your hand so you get squiggly line as a result to make learning easier for you i have made my digital sawing templates available at my tutorial shop popnicute supply all graphics were drawn in adobe illustrator using 0 25 pt line watch the video above for the full coverage subscribe to my youtube channel for more tutorials happy sawing posted by kharisma sommers at 4 35 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday august 2 2016 beginners guide to make copper pipe cuff bracelet with popnicute making the moon crater copper pipe bracelet is a lot of fun all you need material wise is a piece of copper pipe m thickness the thinnest copper pipe easily obtainable from any hardware stores but to form it there are a lot of tools involved i will show you here some basic tools to help you get started i m not affiliated to any of these websites or brands i shared them here simply because i believe they have good products and services moon crater cuffs by popnicute for a complete instruction on how to make a copper pipe bracelet watch the video below check my craftsy store popnicute supply for pdf tutorials and digital sawing templates ps you can replace any of these tools with comparable products shop around for the best prices propane torch a propane torch is needed to anneal copper a butane torch is too small and will not give you enough heat to anneal copper pipe your choice of refillable or disposable propane tank plenty of them available at the hardware store acetylene torch can be used as an alternative charcoal block fire brick fire brick is available at the hardware store a charcoal block can be found at a jewelry supply company like otto frei or rio grande even at amazon fire brick will be the surface to fire your copper pipe do not anneal copper on top of concrete concrete can shatter from heat and is potentially dangerous annealing pan you can use any baking pan to contain your charcoal block to protect your surface from direct heat i bought a used stainless steel cooking pan in a thrift shop as my annealing pan and filled it with pumice i place my pumice pan on top of a granite lazy suzan so i can turn the pan around easily if needed slow cooker pot you can get one from a thrift store plastic or ceramic lid is better to use pickle is acidic and can rust steel which would contaminate pickle and copper plate the pieces you dipped into it to make a pickle use ph down pool chemical can be purchased at hardware store pool supply store mixed with water to remove firescale from your copper pipe do not boil warm setting is enough warm pickle cleans faster but it can be used cold too ps if you intend to use cold pickle any glass container big enough for your piece would do quenching bowl use a big enough ceramic or glass bowl and fill it with water it will be used to dip a heated copper to cool it down it s best to not use plastic as plastic can melt in touch with high heat if you use pickle you ll need another quenching bowl filled with water and baking soda solution to neutralize the pickle pickle pickle is used to remove the black oxide that s forming on top layer of the metal after firing i use ph down any brand which is a chemical used in swimming pool to lower the ph of the water mine came in granule form and i basically pour water inside the quenching bowl and add enough granules don t be shy i only pickle after i m done with forming the pipe bracelet as forming this bracelet requires multiple firing so pickling is unnecessary for the rest of the process i just quench the pipe inside plain water leave the metal in pickle for about a few minutes or until the black oxide has softened i used my copper tong to scratch the piece lightly if the black oxide is lifted then it s done pickling you don t really need to leave it in pickle until the blackness is completely gone pickle is acidic and will paint rust on steel tools so don t ever put it inside a metallic container nor dip any steel tool inside a pickle solution baking soda dilute baking soda in water to neutralize the acidic piece after pickling again don t be shy when dipping your pickled piece in baking soda solution the piece will fizzle like an effervescent wait until the bubbles are gone to lift it off when it no longer bubbles it indicates that your piece has been neutralized copper tongs use long copper tongs to handle hot copper pipe and to put in and pick up your copper pipe inside a pickle solution do not use steel steel reacts with pickle and will contaminate your pickle anvil an anvil or a bench block is where you hammer and form your copper pipe on chasing hammer i use a chasing hammer to create the initial dents on the copper pipe dapping punch set these dapping punch set can be used to create deeper and tighter craters use a delrin or brass mallet or a chasing hammer to drive the punches round or oval stepped mandrel a stepped mandrel is used to form the hammered pipe into a bracelet i prefer a stepped mandrel as it can hold down the bracelet as i form it a little further see video so there you have it a list of basic tools you needed to make a moon crater bracelet out of copper pipe have fun creating posted by kharisma sommers at 7 10 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest older posts home subscribe
