Wire Wrap and Weave Jewelry

Beautiful art! Have you done any rings?
a couple... I now have a ring mandrel so I am good to go.... The wire I use is half hard for ease of working. In order to harden it up It has to be hammered a bit.... either with a leather hammer or a chasing hammer.... Then you almost cant bend it.
Thats called work hardening....

I have patterns for wire only rings and for rings with Savorsky crystals... and those same can have beaded semi precious stone beads in their place. Even Cabochons...
I am more comfortable working with stones that have holes in them for rings.

An example is off of one of Lan Anh's tutorials

Or you can let me surprise you.... Color of wire would be all I would need.

The wire is coated so no tarnish with the exception of Raw Copper and Bronze. They will patina with age... And discolor your finger a bit. You can coat the inside with clear fingernail polish if you want.

Speaking of beads, a way to mix beads and chickens is decorating egg shells! I was learning to embroidery on eggs, using different threads, ribbons, etc, and beads. I love all this crafty stuff.
