Description Could Not think of an interesting name for this one so went with something a bit silly, there is a Moonstone in there but just didn't have the heart to call it Blue Moon Rising and it isn't quite a star, so Blue Stars Rising just didn't sound good either maybe Five Petals of Love? enough of this silliness...

This is for the Contest [link] part 2. The frame sent to me, was from as seen here [link] what a FUN contest to be involved with

Now for the bones of this one I have been wanting to use these Blue Crystal beads on something for quite some time now, just couldn't decide on what exactly they would look FUN with, then came the frame and I was off the small dark blue beads are new ones for me to use, called blue dyed Howlite, what interestingly blue stones, with such fun grey/blue lines ( intrusions, extrucions, oh what is that word that is so much fun to use for those black lines that squiggle through stones? ), small black Onyx stones, large purple Lapidorite stones, large and tiny Opalite crystals, small Lazuli Malachite stones, teardrop Amethyst stones, and a small silver coated Moonstone pendant all connected with a double strand toggle clasp.

I must say this was a unique experience for me, twisting and trying to wire wrap is not an easy task when you know none of the cool technique's and finesse that more experienced artisans like ~szilviabead ~Celtic--Spirit ~arwenpotter *Tooi =yoboseiyo who are all in this contest All such wonderful artisans, I know I still have a LOT to learn... now when is that next wire wrapping class so I can see what all I did wrong with this piece

Good luck to all who entered!
Blessings,
Pegs

now, now I bet you know how to use the wire so it doesn't bunch up and then hold it's curve so you can't do anything but pull the darn thing, then you look and you have twisted the form you are using soooo out of shape, you are afraid no one will recognize what you are doing, so you take it apart for the umpteenth time and just sit there looking at the piece trying to figure it out *breathe now* try saying that with one breath course then you suddenly realize if you had used a bit lighter weight wire, your efforts might just work, you can't help but laugh at your self and go find something lighter to use. I even tried using some of my fabric thread to hold the beads down while I work with the wire but that was a messy idea, as I had my white thread all over the place, that was a funny effect with these strings hanging all over the place... sooooo when are you coming to Phoenix to show me the proper way to use and wrap wire? huuummm??

Thank-you It was a Great experience

I'm pretty bad with wire. What you described is exactly what I go through every time (less the part about the lighter wire part).

You're welcome!

Inclusion *snaps finger* I knew it was something like that, just couldn't think of it fast enough then forgot about it afterwards

Hey, you know what to do with the wire, all I did was try to treat it as thread, but wire is Not thread and all the embroidery tricks in the world do not make a pretty site in back of piece I had so much fun trying to do this, I want a class to really teach me what I was doing to make such a mess The same way I felt when I first tried to embroider with a book, books are great but a good teacher is better My parents were both teachers and they Never stopped taking more classes, same with Dear Heart and his computer work. I would Love to learn how you do what you do with wire. I can not look at regular store pieces without thinking about how I have seen one of my wire working friends doing that type of twist with the wire, but yours is sooooo much prettier and not so BORING thank-you

wireworkersanonymous In reply to DAnnsCreations [2008-06-06 21:56:21 +0000 UTC]

aw, thanks!
and really, if the wire is thin enough you can actually treat it as thread.

it think it worked out great for you!
and i hope you can find a class or two that you'd like.
(everytime i see one, i see what they'll make and i think "oh, that's EASY" and then never sign up.)
