Spiral wrapped bracelet

Hello again.
I have been busy again since my last post making these gorgeous spiral wrapped bracelets. I really enjoy making them as they allow my mind to wonder. This one below I have used some Amber coloured glass beads of varying different shapes, sizes and finishes. It has a hook and eye clasp made from 18g SP wire. The beads are wrapped and linked with 24g SP wire.



These ones below are made using glass beads that I have had for a while. They have an iridescent layer on them that makes them look very special but is very hard to photograph! lol I have used the same wire as before in the above bracelet.

This bracelet Is a little bit different in that I used 20g SP wire to wrap and link the beads. I think I like it better with 20g wire. It looks neater and a bit sturdier than the ones above. I did make this one first but I didn't have enough 20g wire to do more than this one! lol when I get my hands on some more then I think I will be making some more!






I think that I had almost as much fun taking these photos as I did making these pieces. Thank you for looking.

My latest creations

Hi all.
Well I have been very busy over the last few days. I have made several pairs of earrings. I had a go at making my own ear wires. I used 20g silver plated wire to do mine and so of course I had to make lots of things to hang off of them! lol.



The disks on this pair I made using shrink plastic. It is a material that I have not really used before, so I really enjoyed playing with this. It is coloured with an iridescent mica powder that I heat set during the shrinking process. I really like the way hat these have turned out. I added the dangle with an 'S' link that I also made. I think that these would look great worn in the summer, especially as big jewellery is going to be a big trend.



This pair above are also made from 20g SP wire. I made the headpins myself to match the wrapping on the top of the bead. I have been going a bit nuts for wire wrapping beads in this way, whenever I sit down to play at the moment I will inevitably end up with something wrapped! lol




I love this pair, these are by far my faves. I used some new goodies that I had ordered a while ago but where delayed because of all the snow we have had! Well I finally got them through my letterbox this morning and this is the result. I have used some more Opalite, this time in a Briolette cut and fresh water potato pearls, also new :) I think that I am going to have to practise wrapping briolettes, I gave up and used a bead cap instead but I think that they look pretty cool.




I'm not sure where the inspiration for this pair came from. I don't often work with red, Its not a colour I tend to wear much of, But I think that its starting to grow on me.

So hope you like them, because I love them!
