Hi Sandy, thank you so much for this wonderful video! I'm just learning about making jewelry (mostly beaded necklaces, earrings, and Christmas ornaments, so far), and I'm also just learning about work-hardening wire. (SO much to learn! LOl!) Your video is incredibly informative and helpful. Question: Where did you get that wonderful little anvil? I live in an apartment, so hammering on my desk surface is not optimal and I think an anvil will be a great addition to my studio. Would love to know where you got that cute little anvil! 😊 Thank you so much.

Hi Maxine, thank you for letting me know that you found the video helpful! I believe I got the little anvil at the craft store like Michaels. .

I’m wanting to wrap beads, pearls, and crystals around a ribbon wrapped base for a crown. Are there instructions for that bangle bracelet you show at the end? If I wanted to make the base crown in a silver metal, using a half hard wire of a larger diameter and hammering it would harden it enough to hold its shape, correct? Cost of silver will prevent me from doing so this time but I’d like to learn more about these options. Thanks for all these instructive videos. Very helpful!

Hi Candy, Yes, hammering will harden the wire and if it's of a large enough diameter it should hold its shape. Here's the bracelet tutorial. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZO6qHV3bq11hsk Hope this helps. Happy creating!
