Small wire wrapping tutorial - how to make "curly" beads.
For two small beads (15mm long) you will need about 3 meters (9-10 feet) of 24ga (0.6mm) full hard or half hard wire.
Make about 18cm (7 inches) of coil. Stretch it to 5-6 feet long "wave", cut in half. Each 3 feet (80-90cm) of wavy wire will make one bead. You may flatten and harden the wave with a mallet if you wish. And just coil the wavy wire around a needle making a bead. Hide the end of a wire inside the bead.
You've made your nests! Have fun with them!;)
This tutorial in Russian I published here - community.livejournal.com/wire_ru/195008.html
Small, dainty but also mysterious necklace made of oxidised and polished fine and sterling silver and a tiny (3mm) cabochon of rainbow moonstone in hues of white, blue and gold.
The circle is 2,8cm in diameter. The chain is 45cm long with 10cm of extension.
This necklace is artwork within artwork. I first created a sheet of art work in polymer clay. Then I cut out the teardrop shapes, cured, sanded and coated each piece in resin. Each polymer clay piece had to be drilled and then I created the base of the necklace with wire and wrapped each piece in small solid copper wire. Also incorporated into the piece are turquoise glass pearls. The chain was also hand created with copper wire. Sorry, this piece sold before I could post it on the internet.

Sonnet 18, William Shakespeare
This handmade, asymmetrical necklace in 14K gold filled wire and London Blue Topaz faceted rondelles, was inspired by sonnet no.18 by William Shakespeare, which is another of my favourite written pieces. No, it IS my favourite written piece. I recite it, quietly to myself many, many times each month and over the years I must have recited it hundreds of times. And how someone decided centuries ago, to put a few words together and with those words bring tears to my eyes today, is something I will never understand. I do hope I have done the sonnet justice.
I started by shaping the flowers and wire wrapped them in different looks and techniques to add texture and then added one gorgeous London Blue Topaz to each centre and embraced that topaz with a coil of wire. The larger of the flowers also got two round 14K gold filled beads and one smaller, slightly lighter in shade, London Blue Topaz on the petals. One of the flowers also doubles as the hook style clasp, with the hook hidden under the wrapping. The flowers are connected with a 14K gold filled chain that is slightly textured.
The focal is one of the flowers but with an addition of a flawless Whiskey Quartz smooth briolette. It is simply stunning. From the top of the briolette a little cascade of London Blue Topaz rondelles falls.
With the yellow gold and the blue topaz, it will be like wearing an eternal summer around your neck
Hilos de noche y plata, tejidos silenciosos entre susurros y cristales azules. Hilos de nieve, tejidos bajo la noche, noche blanca de invierno…
Winter Blossom,
Threads of night and silver, silent woven between whispers and blue crystals. Threads of snow, woven under the night, white night of winter…
