I've wondered about them since seeing a course listing at our local art/craft school, so thank you for the entertaining walk-through.K's in GRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10894953106944825513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22953735.post-42850311781149484892008-04-10T15:48:00.000-04:002008-04-10T15:48:00.000-04:00Wow!

I just used the mysterious "mandrel" in a jewelry class to wrap sterling wire into coils so you could make your own chain links to create Byzantine chain bracelets. In my class, the "mandrel" was an aluminum knitting needle, so why not just call it a knitting needle? At least there was no fire involved and risk of injury (other than repetitive stress of the wrist and the brain)was low. Wish me luck on this week's class which will involve a gas torch and hot metal. I'll be sure to bring along the Bactine.<BR/><BR/>MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22953735.post-9669946211172073472008-04-01T21:00:00.000-04:002008-04-01T21:00:00.000-04:00I had a great time!
