Wire Jewelry Tip of the Day for October 9, 2013

Creative Gift Giving Ideas

Perfect for any wire jewelry or creative artist!

Tis’ the season for gift-buying, and coming up with something unique for the “creatives” in your circle can sometimes be a challenge.  For those of you who have “jewelry artists” in your family, or friends who are jewelry or other types of creative artists, I thought I’d take a moment and give you a few suggestions of gifts that will not only help stuff their stockings this holiday, but continue to give the whole year through!

Creativity Counts:

With so many amazing products, feel free to mix and match. It might be a good year to steer clear of the traditional holiday tie or fuzzy blanket (not that we have anything against a warm, cozy blanket) but why not build a basket of tools or a bundle of polishing cloths or even  a bead holder full of miscellaneous items that your receiver will love. Whether your gift buying is to help someone find a new outlet for their artistic talent or adding to an existing collection of wire jewelry supplies, here are a few ideas that just might help fill your shopping list!

Stocking Stuffers:

Gift Certificates

Do you want to get someone the perfect gift, but just don’t know what they need – don’t worry! Give them a Gift Certificate to Wire-Sculpture.com. They are easy to purchase and can be spent on anything on our site!

The gift of knowledge:

Learning is fun for artists especially when he/she can practice hands on.  So, this holiday season, why not give a learning series of DVD’s filmed in high definition from a few of our experts both here at Wire-Sculpture and in the jewelry field.

There are many to choose from including buying an entire series for beginners or for creating many different styles of rings.  Each DVD introduces the artist to materials, patterns, and complete instructions to create various jewelry pieces.

Here are a few suggestions:
