"Have loved your tapes and making jewelry but had one problem. Everything was done right handed and I am left handed so had to turn everything around. Used to it tho as I have done it all my life cause most everything is backwards to me. Tried making some different patterns of my own like a Breast Cancer Ribbon with a 4mm pink cz set on it. Have had breast cancer for 6 years full force and the new medicines have kept me going all this time so gonna give profits to BC research. Also make a necklace pattern using beads and wire also a butterfly pin."

"Did your course work? It sure did. We made about a half dozen with the brass wire. Even the first one came out good thanks to your video. In our opinion, the video had great detail. We would have purchased your other videos, but at the moment, there seems to be that money situation. Our first show is in March. We have about 24 necklaces at this time to show. I believe you may have mentioned it in you video, no two are alike!"

"We've been corresponding for so long that I feel that I know you very well, so I decided to let you know a little about myself. I am a 72 year old grandmother, a trained Botanist with an epileptic mentally handicapped daughter 37 years old.I have been doing fused glass making dishes ,wall hangings and jewelry. For the past 4 yrs I have been teaching fused glass jewelry making toadults and also teach wire wrapping. I had been looking for something to distinguish my work and was so happy when I found your website. It has been a source of inspiration to me and I look forward to the newsletters and all the information that you give so freely. As a teacher I admire your teaching style and having bought your tapes I have been working hardto improve my style. I have not used the brass wire that comes in the kit, I'd rather use silver and goldfilled. My greatest difficulty when I began was the basic harness for the ovals, but I am now becoming comfortable with it. My greatest problem is selling. I dont seem to have the personality to close the sale most times. People will ooh and aah about my pieces but sales are slow.I must be doing something wrong.

I would love to participate in your workshops but am unable to do so now. My husband is a retired university professor so he is only now coming around slowly to give me the support that I need,but I'll get him to see my way one of these days.

In the meantime I will continue to learn from your tapes and e-books and will send some pictures of my work soon. Keep up the good work , you are a wonderful teacher."

"I applied for a high end, juried "wearable art" show and to my delight was accepted. We had a small 8' table backed up against a wall with only enough space for a chair and my "cart/table". The show was a two day affair and was very successful. I tell you this because I followed the information given in the one day seminar we did last year on doing shows and used the same type show cases that you use and recommend and just wanted to you to see the results. My booth looked very nice and professional, and more than one jewelry exhibitor took the address of the people who made the cases and I suspect we will see more of them here in this area. I have been doing smaller shows all along, and all have been good and the booth always looked quite nice, but this one was the best.

Thanks for the good ideas."

"I would like to thank you, again for the training you have made available to me.Your step by step approach was so easy to follow that I have actually been able to make some great looking pieces. You have certainly made this more of a fun endeavor than a challenging prospect. Thank you, so much for the ability!"

"I love the course. It has been very helpful and I am actually going to try to start selling it wholesale and have a shop willing to put some of my things in their store already. I still have a lot to learn and probably will be purchasing more videos from you in the future. At this point I don't think I am interested in the mall, I have looked at it but later on I may try it. For now I want folks to be able to touch and feel my jewelry. I am searching for some really unique stones that aren't terribly expensive. I am still just taking baby steps but have really learned alot from your videos. You truly are a master at what you do and I hope to learn everything that you are willing to teach. Thank you for offering this course. It will allow me to quit my 9:00-5:00 job and work from home which has been my dream for some time now."

"I LOVE IT! I started out with the intro to wire sculpture (cameos), moved to the sculpted pendants, rings, and am just getting started on bracelets. Second, the course has helped me to gain more confidence in my wire work and made me more willing to just get out there and experiment. Third, the information about you give about wire and tools have been invaluable! Before, I was trying to do things with half-hard wire and wondering why they were disastrous! Also, knowing which tools to use (for example, using round nose pliars to prepare wrap wires) has also been a genuine time saver.There is so much more to say, all positive, about the wire sculpting system. I will be doing a show in June and cannot wait to display all the pendants, rings, and cameos I've made."

"The videos were very helpful. I no longer need to use them but they were helpful at the start. I found one or two of the videos said that we would be learning some things that were never presented on the videos. That was disappointing, but over all they were great...

I am still amazed when someone wants to buy my wire work and pay a decent price for it... I am in the process of building my stock up to display at a gallery in Dallas and in a salon in Grand Prairie.

I am always looking for new designs or trying to create my own... I am just limited on time working a full time job. I've just purchased red gold for the first time and combined that with sterling pattern wire to make a bracelet. Turned out beautiful... I believe I have learned the basics well as I have had nothing come apart... I attribute that to your videos... I really listened to what you had to say... :)

I appreciate your email and I hope you and your wife are doing well... Several ladies I know here in the area have traveled to take your weekend workshop and speak very highly of you both... "

"It is so rare to find someone so willing to share their knowledge and experience with others. Many people are so secretive about their techniques as they don't want others to know how they do it. You are an exception to this, your course has taught me so much and it was so easy to follow. I have made many pieces now and each time I get better. I stumbled across your website while I was looking for sterling silver wire and when I saw your jewellery I was hooked. I read how you got into jewellery making and I was immediately inspired. My mum actually bought me the course as an early birthday present because I couldn't afford it, but with the money I have made selling jewellery I have paid her back for the course and have been able to buy a lot of supplies from your site. I am in the process of saving up for more DVD's as people who have bought pendants that I have made now want rings and bracelets to match. I look forward to learning more techniques from you in the near future!"

" have been very happy with your service and selection of supplies. Your printed instructions have been great. Time constraints have kept me from being able to exert the time needed to create items that I would be comfortable selling in your mall. But, I intend to keep trying. I find making jewelry to be therapeutic as well as creative."

"I just wish I had found your website four years ago when I first started. I am beginning to phase out my bead making to do entirely wire sculpture. I had a very successful show about two weeks ago....the best I have ever had.

The birthstone rings went over really well!!! They are easy to make and people like them. I use the 5mm Swarovski crystal stones. I used the display you suggested - 12 boxes with a birthstone in each. I charged $15 for each ring.

Your comments on what to sell at particular craft shows was very helpful. No wonder I couldn't sell my good stuff at festivals!!! Like I said, if I had found your website four years ago, I could have saved myself a lot of money and aggravation.

Thanks so much for you and your website!!!"

"I have learned a lot from your course. I also do silversmithing. ( About 6 months) I have made a lot of things but am not sure if they are good enough to sell, or what to charge for them. I get a lot of good response from people that see them and they want to buy some of them. I go along with something that looks real good and then one little thing goes wrong and makes it not perfect. I am retired and have a lot of time to do this and silver. I also do gold prospecting a couple days a week. How do I know if my things are really good enough to sell? I look at the mall almost daily to see how good things look and what they sell for. I guess I'll get better the longer I do it. I just don't want to make a bad impression with my work."

"I've been practicing wire art for the past year, and have been very impressed with the talents of many established artists in this field. I wanted to say that your name pops up quite frequently in conversations without other artists in this field and with many who are, like me, dabblers and hobbyists.

The information on your website has been extremely helpful to me in learning about the basic principles of metal and wire--something that is often overlooked when teaching how to make, for example, loops or rings. Knowing about the basic physics of wire and the properties of the wire has been enormously helpful in learning to manipulate and to master the wire forms.

I've been to the website frequently to purchase tools from some of the participants in your mall. I hope that you'll continue to post useful information about wire work and technique on your website, as I refer to it often when I have questions."

"I just wanted to say that your work is really fabulous. I also like your website, and one day I phoned to ask some questions about wire. The lady on the phone (Linda, I think) was really friendly and helpful. I live in Canada, and even with the exchange rate and shipping, the prices on the supplies you offer are very reasonable. I plan to order some from you next time I get wire. I have to order it from Canada this time as I have a home party to do in less than 2 weeks and I need mucho wire VERY quickly!!

I just started my business about 6 weeks ago, but already I've had a sizeable wholesale deal and a couple of private sales. But I wish I'd discovered your website sooner than last week, because it really is great and offers lots of valuable advice. I can only aspire to make jewelry as beautiful as yours! Thanks again."
