Playing with wire

I love my local library. I found two books there by Linda Jones, the first one is Making Colorful Wire & Beaded Jewelry, and that's what I've been playing with last night and today.



Squiggly Rings, page 22


Beads with head pin (practice, obviously), page 15


Threading beads on wire, page 14


Spiral Pendant, from Springtime Spiral Necklace, page 78


Everything together so far.


Finally, a ring for my big fat forefinger!!

Inspiration and Execution




Or something. I'm kind of punchy. I have this button. I had these old jeans. I am making a purse/bag sort of thing. I want to learn to embroider. Well, see the pics, I guess.
