Metal Arts Guild Pin Swap 2008
Prior to the event, I was wracking my brain trying to come up with something, and finally thought, “Well, it’s Fall, so why not do leaves?” So, that’s what I did. It was great fun, and I’d encourage anyone coming to next year’s AGM to join in!
Glitches resolved *Whew!*
The new tutorial proved to be so popular that the demand temporarily crashed my server. While having to be glued to the computer yesterday wasn’t exactly fun, I’m very pleased about the response to the new tutorial. Thank you!
The website is now back online and running smoothly.
Tutorial Discount Coupon Glitch!
I’m receiving emails that people are getting error messages when they try to use the discount coupon I sent out. In addition to this glitch, my email program is jammed, so it may take some time to contact people directly with the fix. If you have tried to use the coupon and have had a problem, please send me a quick note to let me know, and I’ll forward the link to the file manually until I figure out what’s gone wrong.
Sorry for the problems, and I’ll hopefully get everything straighten out shortly! I appreciate your patience!

Funniest quote I’ve seen in a while
I’m subscribed to Google Alerts, so in the course of wading through one, came across a weblog by Cindy Gimbrone. Cindy is a “Lampwork Diva” and self described wirehead.
She recently posted a link to my Stud Tutorial, and made what was the funniest wire related comment I’ve seen in a while:
I feel as though I’ve admired Diane’s wire work since I was a short piece of wire.
(emphasis mine)
The image that conjures up is just priceless… Thanks for the smile, Cindy 🙂

A week at Haliburton
I’ve just returned from a week of teaching at the Haliburton School of the Arts. What a wonderful experience!
There were 15 enthusiastic ladies in my wire jewellery class. “Lively” would hardly begin to describe the vibe this group generated. Although I threw a lot of information at them, they were eager to apply the techniques and were soon off and running, creating jewellery with their own unique twists.

Haliburton Class – July 21-25, 2008
JUST CONFIRMED!
I will be teaching the Wire Jewellery Course at the Haliburton School of the Arts, July 21-25, 2008. Here’s the course description from the Fleming College website:
Wire Jewellery
July 21, 2008Course Number: ARTS0676
Section Number: 41
Please note: This course requires extensive use of hand tools (wire cutters, pliers) and a healthy level of manual dexterity. Start with the basics and learn to create and design your own jewellery using wire. Go from traditional wire wrapping techniques to original, free-form methods, or something in between. Emphasis will be based on creating pieces that reflect your individuality and personal tastes. No soldering is required and you will have the opportunity to incorporate beads, stones, and found objects to make your own unique designs. Basic hand tools and the use of some interesting tricks will enable you to continue upon completion of the course. Personal style and creativity will be encouraged in a relaxed atmosphere.
Please Note: There will be a $65 material fee payable to the instructor.
