Wire Wrapping Experiment...

Since hosting the bead event at Micheals  I've been messing about with knitting wire with beads as well at making a few wire wrapped pieces.




Now the two at the end are all mine. But the first one my Brother Ed did that nice little curly Q wrapping on with the thicker wire (I simply went through with a very thin green wire and added the peridot. I'd purchased the lava and peridot beads out of a nostalgia for the Big Island. The last piece has a gorgeous stone with neat little purple angles (possibly crystals) that I completey fail to capture in this picture....

I call the piece Stone Circuit. Can you name a piece of jewelry? Oh well I guess I've done it. Here's the front up close...





And the back...





Still trying to decide how much I want to invest in this hobby, but it's been fun so far and it's definitely a way to make sure you're not wearing the same pieces as everyone else.

I really love the new pendants. They all look awesome. There are a bunch of books on wire jewelery at B & N, but I think these look a heckuvalot better! Very creative..... OK then, talk to you soooooooon! -Amber
