New Tools

When I first started working with beads and wire, I bought a multi tool kit from the craft store.  Its been good to practice with and learn with, and I plan on keeping them for now.  But on Monday, I finally got to buy two new desperately needed tools.
I had had it.  I was using my round nose pliers and was just so sick of them chewing up my good silver wire.  The tips on my old pliers weren't pointy enough, and I couldn't get them where I wanted them.  It had hit a point of maximum frustration.
I used to think that it didn't matter what tools you had, that it really all depended on the artist.  Like "Its not the quality of the tool, its what you do with it."  I think now in some ways that can still be true.  You can use all kinds of tools and still create amazing things, but sometimes it makes a GIGANTIC difference if you are using better tools.
So let me just say, I am in love with my new tools.
