Parts n Pieces

Quite often before I am ready to put a bunch of jewelry together I take a step back and look at my components and make sure I have all I will need to make the next bunch of pieces.  This often leads to a day of just making parts, it's mindless work but I can think of the parts and pieces I have to work with and sometimes new ideas pop into my head while my hands are busy.  Here is a few things I've ready yesterday and today...
Copper head pins you can never have tooooo many
Soldered copper rings
Copper S hooks for bracelets

Small copper jump rings
Copper dumb bells
I really hate stopping in the middle of a project to make a jump ring or some other stupid little thing that I should have had on hand.  It just slows down my creativity and we can't have that.

  2. If you stop and think about it you have to get everything out to do that one task why not make a hundred of them and be ready.
