practice

I've been finding small snippets of time to play with wire.  I want to practice and get better at freeform wire wrapping.  I'm not real sure where I want to take this skill.  Most of my ideas revolve around pendants and bracelets/cuffs.  And ALL of my ideas are way above my skill level.

So I'm experimenting.  Playing with weaves, coils, and colors.  Integrating them with flower petals of half made flowers that have been laying around forever.  Most of these experiments will be available as Christmas ornaments this fall. If you see something you must have for your Christmas tree this year don't hesitate to email me.  Time is hard to come by so it will be slow going on updating Etsy with everything I have.

 
These two are my most recent and my favorites.

Orchid Purple Rose


The contrast of the dark tips and bright centers on each petal was fun to put together.  I think it could work for a dramatic affect in a bouquet or a more fun and wild centerpiece.
