Hi all! \u00a0I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. \u00a0I’ve been having fun trying out a technique I learned in a Craftsy class I bought a while back,\u00a0Wire-Wrapped Stones Crystals and Clusters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

(Click on any of the photos for a closer look.)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"craftsy-wire-pendant-before-liver-of-sulfur\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I just finished this pendant. It’s not exactly anything that was taught in the class, but she showed us the concept of twisting two wires together with a power drill, hammering the twisted wires flat until spaces open and then using the resulting piece as a frame for other wire work.<\/p>\n

It was my idea to wire wrap the scrolls, pearls and crystals inside the frame. \u00a0I used 20 gauge silver filled wire for the frame and 26 gauge silver filled for the wrapping.<\/p>\n

\"earrings-from-craftsy-class\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The class \u00a0instructor made two pairs of frames and wrapped beads in between to make a pair of earrings.<\/p>\n

\"twisted-wire-frame-ring\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This style of earring isn’t exactly “me,” but I went ahead and made one, just to try the technique. Don’t know what I’m going to do with this, it’s too small to be a ring for the finger. Maybe someday I’ll make it part of something else.<\/p>\n

\"wire-wrapped-bangle-from-craftsy-class\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You might remember that I made this bracelet a couple months ago. If you’re going to use copper wire for a bracelet I’d suggest a heavier gauge than the 20 that I used. Probably 16 gauge would be best, so it’s nice and firm. Mine’s kind of squishy and flops about.<\/p>\n

\"craftsy-wire-pendant-after-liver-of-sulfur\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just before Christmas I picked up some liver of sulfur to add patinas to my wire work. \u00a0I finally got to play with it this week. (I had to wait for the weather to warm up so I could do it outside as the family strongly objected to the stench of rotten eggs in the house. Huh.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Here’s the first pendant I showed you after 20 minutes in the Liver of Sulfur<\/a>\"\"\u00a0and then polished a bit with a Pro-Polish Pad<\/a>\"\". I need to shine it up a bit more so the darkened areas in the crevices will really contrast. \u00a0Kinda looks like an antique piece of jewelry, eh?<\/p>\n

Btw, Craftsy is having a flash sale this weekend.\u00a0Craftsy Flash Sale 1\/18-1\/19<\/a>\u00a0For the next 48 hours, choose from over 50 classes in 14 categories that are up to 50% off.<\/p>\n

So, if you want to learn this twisted wire frame technique, and many others check out the class, Wire-Wrapped Stones Crystals and Clusters<\/a>, it’s one of the ones on sale this weekend.<\/p>\n

\"wire-wrap-class-jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Have fun and\u00a0Happy creating!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
