Introducing our newest winner in the “Guest Blog Partner” drawing, Melan Designs!

Every 3 months, with the help of random.org, we pick someone to be R&T’s guest blog partner.  The twist this time around is that the winner isn’t strictly a blogger!

Melan Designs is an active Facebook user instead.  We’re delighted to have her (Melanie) expanding the blog-partner program further into social mediaspace.

Click in to check out Melanie’s metalwork, jewelry and jokes.  (“Temper, temper, temper,” said the metalsmith…)

And wish her well in this new partnership!

* Put your name in for the drawing too!  Did you know–we’ll keep your name “in the hat” till it gets drawn?  That way you don’t have to keep re-entering :)

Crimp ends that really match your chain

Imagine always being able to get crimp ends that match your beading chain!  Even in antiqued colors!

crimps_41-151-90-08-7Crimp (flatten) only the center section of the tubes, leaving the ends intact.
