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!
