Wire Bending pt.3

I couldn't keep away from the bird's nest design, it's simple, cute, and such a loose design...the kinkier, the better. [that sounded dirty :P]

I used pretty much the same method as the necklace as mentioned in a previous posting, only I added a cute Cardinal bird to closely guard her eggs.

I'm a bit tired of wire bending though, on to another venture!

Wire Bending pt. 2

I was looking around the net for something simple to bend, I was thinking more of a ring, but was too lazy :P so I found some earrings instead! I'm quite pleased with how they turned out, sort of an Art Deco style. I hope to make more like these, with beads of more valuable quality perhaps. I DO need to get some thinner wire [24 gauge], so I dont have such a hard time bending more complex designs!

I found a new love, and her name is wire bending!

I've wanted to make these little wire bird nest pendants for a long time, but thought it would be way too difficult/time consuming...ok I'll be honest, I was lazy...but after finding myself with a lot of free time, and much extra wire, I thought I'd give it a whirl.

My first attempt, I didnt cut enough wire :/ what was I thinking! The second attempt, I became a bit discouraged because most people use the easy-to-manipulate 24 gauge wire, and all I could find is 20, now that I NEED that spool of flimsy wire I thought I'd never use. *darn* I remained confident that I would finish this piece, however, and after being poked in the eye numerous times because my cats were suddenly amused by stiff bouncey wire, I came to a stopping point, added a few extra touches, and I LOVE IT! I hope it sells soon though, I'd like to make many more!

Gearin' Up for Back to School

I just recently opened the shop back up now that I have a solid inernet connection. Lots of prices have been lowered in accordance with the season, that and I NEED to get rid of some stock to make room for new designs!
