Vicky_CO Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 They go really well together. I have been having fun and getting better at wire weaving. I was just doing wire to make bails and they what it will be in the end I think signature bails for my clay but the practice has produce some really cool pieces I think. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends an hour at the minimum but the ones with more weaving a couple of hours and yes as I practice I get faster. I just wish wire was cheaper. 29 minutes ago, SueH said: Oh these are so gorgeous! So is everything that you make, you have to get an website and sell your beautiful creations!!!

TallTayl Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) As if I don't have enough things to take up time and money, wire wrapping always fascinates me. I I have this beautiful stone that reminds me of a candle flame. Thinking it will be gorgeous if wrapped well. What direction would you take this piece?

kandlekrazy Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Beautiful pieces Vicky! I started learning to wire wrap using sea glass pieces, but nothing like your pieces or wrap, they are fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would consider Viking netting bezel with a 2 or 3 wired weaved bail. Another would I would really consider is capturing in in the chevron weave. here is a pic of the weave http://magazin-rukodel.ru/?p=4006 do some decorative wire swirls on the back to secure the stone, double snake weave bail. I would do it in copper or another colored wire I think silver or gold would be a bad choice here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindym Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Those are beautiful Vicky, that aqua one really caught my eye. So pretty all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Thanks Vicky. The wire color is as difficult as the weave choice! I'll watch that video a few times to see what I can replicate. And watch a few dozen more YouTube vids. My house cleaning can wait a little longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Love one I just watched for a prong set cabochon by CSL designs. A few raw stones in my tiny collection would look beautiful in this type of setting. the first one ( http://magazin-rukodel.ru/?p=4006 ) is intriguing since it uses simple copper electrical wire which we always have scraps of here following remodeling projects. Would never have though of that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I love them all!! The pink one looks like a rose - just beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would never have though of that! I have done 2 of the prong set ones they were fun. That is what is nice about copper it is very easy to come by. Plus putting a patina to it gives it a rich warm color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a rose cane they made beads from it. When I elongated my bead it stretched the rose out a bit. The black and purple/pink were also roses but I stretched them further.
