2nd Blog Birthday - wire wrapping

Wow today my blog is 2 years old, the time has flown by.  Thank you to all of you that have supported me since the beginning and continue to, and all the new friends ive made along the way.



I thought I would share my ongoing practice with craft wire and beads to make some wirework suncatchers.

Green & Blue Flower, broken up with orange.  Approx 6" in size. The different beads catch the sunlight. 

A close up. 

A more dainty copper version for a lass that loves clean and simple.  This one i just added the beads on the inside of the petals.  

A close up, i used a mix of yellow, orange, brown beads on the petals

Purple Dragonfly.  Approx 6" in size.  I used purple and silver wire and beads in purples, blues & pinks

A close up shows the true colour better. 

And my take on a peacock feather.  A short version, although its still 10" long!  This one took loads of wire in blue, green and yellow.  Beads in a mix of blue, greens, yellow, orange. 

A close up on the eye of the feather, a blue bead wrapped in blue and then surrounded by a row of yellow beads and wire and the finished with green wire.  

Im still very much a beginner with the craft wire but each time i use it i learn something, like anything, practice makes perfect - long way to go before i get there but im really enjoying my new hobby.   

Weather been a bit wild and windy down here last few days - ideal crafting weather!  I hope you all have a good weekend. Hugs Emmax
