Still playing with wire ...

16/1/2011

Yep, we're halfway through January, and I'm still having loads of fun with the reels of coloured wire my lovely hubby bought me for Christmas (a whole boxful - yay!).  Although I don't get as much time as I'd like to indulge my creativity, it's definitely a welcome antidote to the everyday depressingness of the new austere era we're apparently entering - there's nothing remotely austere about shiny glass, shimmering wire and sparkling crystals ...
 
So, in a bid to banish the January blues, I've been dreaming of Spring with my Sea Spray pendant, and Flowering Vine necklace, which I based on a pattern from a lovely book by Melody MacDuffee.  I also posted pics of some of the Christmas pressies I made, including this peridot Tree of Life for my sister.  I do love my wire, but it's meant the end of my grown-for-Christmas fingernails already - I do envy people who manage to work with wire and still have fingernails!  Ah well, pretty nails or pretty jewellery - there's no contest, really!  ;)

Beautiful wirework (as always, I must say). And I suspect that a wireworker with good nails is an utter myth *G*
