I had a couple of days off last week and had a play with my favourite medium - yep, good old wire. I made a freeform ivy copper bangle and several more Picture Pendants - which you can see for sale in the Pendants section. I also made a necklace from a selection of beads (yes, you read it right - beads, not wire!) which just screamed to be married together, and was able to finally post the pictures of the ornament I made for my Mum & Dad's 30th wedding anniversary and the 9 carat gold earrings commissioned for my Mum's present (sorry, yet more wire...) I was quite pleased with the way my first wire bird had turned out, and it may not look like it, but that ornament took hours to make!
I also made my favourite pendant so far - it was one of those all-too-rare occasions when the image I had in my head before embarking on the project, was exactly what I ended up with. I would say if only it always happened like that, but sometimes it's actually nice to end up with something unexpected. Whatever the outcome, here's to more adventures with wire! :D
