I am enjoying the new love affair... This is a simple pendant, created with 3 sizes of (pre-made) hammered hoops which are connected by wrapped wire with some beads embellishment.
It was a bit difficult to me to keep the wire wrapped close together on the hoops, because their width is changing. Adding the Swarovski daisies was challenge, too, because they cut the 28 gauge wire several times...
Wire working seem to be much fun, although not as much relaxing as beadweaving to me.. I am yet to get used to this technique and feel comfortable using different wire gauges and pliers. I decided to take it slowly by working on small projects each time.
My next wire project will be a bracelet with similar materials. First attempt of creating it failed (and almost a whole spool of wire was wasted..) as I didn't construct it well. I will post photos if and when it's finished.
Gorgeous. I love the combination of beads and wire...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Annie!
ReplyDeleteI am loving your wire wrapped jewelry - I started with wire and then moved to beadweaving - I like both but hardly do any wire work anymore.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jean! I will try to keep working with both, and even combine the two in my work, as I am not willing to give up on beadweaving. If we only had more time... ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pendant and so are your other beaded jewelry. Well done with the wire wrap too. Soon you will be addicted to it :) like me.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mei! Yes, I suspect it's going to be another addiction... ;)
