A really clear and informative video Jennie - thanks! I still fondly remember the headpin workshop I took with you - you're such a generous teacher, and it was great fun as well :-)
Thank you Janet, we had such a lovely day! Hopefully I'll see you all again in person soon x
I guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Callum Edward Instablaster :)
@Roger Forest Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Roger Forest it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out :D

Thank you very much! I finally know how to do it :)
You're welcome :)
Well done Jennie! Suggestion for people who would have trouble hanging onto the mandrel. Couldn't they make the earring on a full length mandrel and then cut it to size?
Absolutely! In fact, you could use a longer piece multiple times and just cut off the glass after each use and then reuse. Another option, because holding 1mm wire can be tricky is to use a pin vise or any of the commercial wire holders available to hold the wire :)
I like this idea. Then there's no waste!
Вподобайку, та переглядів каналу.
Great video, thank you so much! Where did you get your wedge shaped graphite marver? I have never seen one like that.
The triangular marvel? I was lucky enough to receive it in a bulk purchase from a friend who was giving up lamp working. I'm afraid I don't know where she got it from :(
Great video
Make another video or else.
Look at my profile pic.😁
