The Art of Wire Wrapping
I've always thought that wire wrapping cabochons and other items is just beautiful. It always looked so difficult to do and it's always done in sterling silver wire so I know that it's expensive. Well, after watching another talented artist from another blog (Brenda Moran) repeatedly make gorgeous wire wrapped jewelry, I was inspired to look into it further. I purchased a couple of how-to videos from a wonderfully talented woman on Etsy and watched them over and over. When I felt confident enough to try it, I practiced on some silver plated wire and a turquoise colored howlite bead.
