New Tutorial

This is the fourth in my series of up and coming tutorials for the wire jewelry artist. I try to keep them as "pure" wire-wrapping with no soldering so that anybody can make them without buying extra equipment. All you need is wire and tools and you're on your way!

 

This tutorial includes 28 steps and 30 detailed, high-resolution color photos. If you run into any problems or questions, please contact me anytime---I'm always checking my e-mail ;) I'm always happy to hear how people are doing with my instructions and whether or not it's easy to follow.

 

WILL BE IN YOUR INBOX WITHIN 8 HOURS---USUALLY SOONER.
