My Coiling Gizmo


I've been playing with my Coiling Gizmo again. I truly love this toy, I mean, tool. With it you can quickly coil wire and make some awesome looking wire beads to use in your work or to sell.








Here are some of the results of my "work" with this gizmo. It really should be called play.













Making this coiled wire heart was extremely easy once the wire was coiled. I love it!

















Here's the prototype of a cross that I am working on. A few more adjustments, and I'll have it. Again, this was super easy using my Coiling Gizmo.
(Aren't I starting to sound like and informercial?)

















Here are some beads made with artistic wire. I am thinking about using them in a necklace or as earrings.

















These beads are going to be focals in necklaces.
















These are larger sized spacers. They really look neat in person.

















These are spacers, too, but I used silver plated wire. So, what do you think? Do you like my Coiling Gizmo as much as I do? Let me know.

The Coiling Gizmo


I've had my Coiling Gizmo for over a year now, but I've only used it in a very limited way.
I learned how to make coils using my Gizmo.
I knew I had seen videos that explained how to make other types of beads with the Gizmo.
The Gizmo did some with directions,
however,
directions and me don't do well together.
I continued to Google my tool.
It wasn't until today that I realized I was googling the wrong name.
No wonder I couldn't find the videos.
When you google the correct name,
You find the videos.
I watched the videos,
and,
guess what!
I played all afternoon with my
Coiling Gizmo
and
look what I did!
This is what the Coiling Gizmo looks like.
It has 2 mandrels.
You only see one.
That's the bigger of the two mandrels.
Not only that,
it's easy to use.

These are spacers are made from the simple coiled wire I had been doing for a while.
Now the fun begins!
These are coiled beads made from the simple coiled wires.
Fun!

Aren't these beads amazing?
I played all afternoon, too!
Now, how fun is that?
