@HyperspaceHippo - Voyage of the Hyperspace Hippo: Creating a Gift

Many of you know that I often spend my twitter time re-tweeting the hand made copper jewelry pieces you post on Twitter. In fact, that's how many of you found me in the first place, when I tweeted a piece you posted. I've always thought it was a win-win situation for both of us. If you post a piece from your shops and add the words copper, copper jewelry, hand made copper my Social Oomph search engine notifies me. Most mornings and some evenings I'll go through the lists and re-tweet at least a few of the pieces I like. Every once in a while I get to help someone with a copper project or answer questions about wire wrapping or copper wire. One night a couple of weeks ago was one of those occasions. I met @HyperspaceHippo.



@HyperspaceHippo had a simple request for some solid copper lobster clasps. Not easy to find in solid copper, I had found some in 3 sizes for my shop but hadn't added them yet. We tweeted back and forth a bit to find out what she needed and I told her that I would post them for her. She also needed a small length of chain and a couple of jump rings to go with the clasps for a very special project. I don't carry chain or jump rings yet but I had them in my personal stash that I would share with her. So, off went the package and I thought that was that, until this morning.


I love waking up to find a mention on Twitter. @HyperspaceHippo has written an article about the project she needed the supplies help with Voyage of the Hyperspace Hippo: Creating a Gift 
What a very special loving gift she created. It's truly an honor to have met her and helped with this gift. Sales aside, this is really what Twitter should be all about. Making friends, creating relationships that, even though online, have the power to touch you. @HyperspaceHippo did that today.

Solid Copper Lob Clasps 5/$2.79

Filiagree Puffy Heart $2.99

Special Treat with your Copper Purchase

Many of you know that I often throw a little extra in with your package. This year many of you received A Beaded Affair pens with your purchases. A few weeks ago, while drinking a cup of "Happy Belly Tea" by Om Shanti Handcrafts, my favorite hand made soap slinger, a light bulb went on.

I contacted Kate with my idea and now, for a limited time only you can try out a sample size of Om Shanti's fabulous soaps with any order from my main shop A Beaded Affair, while supplies last.

So, step right up, order some wire and enjoy a little treat for your hands on the side.

Om Shanti and A Beaded Affair are shops created and designed by Hot Glue Media with e-commerce powered by Wicked Plum. Developed by artists, for artists.

Speaking of artists, July 15 is the posting date for the next issue of Copper Wire Jewelers Magazine and this one should prove to be the most exciting one yet with the fabulous art and articles from the artists at Copper Wire Jewelers. Don't miss the launch. Leave a message here if you would like the free link sent to you on the publishing date.

That's all for now. Just click on over to the shop and pick up your copper fix and get a little treat in the bargain.
