very nice wire work! i can't believe you don't solder any of this. what about the small silver balls? did you wrap those also? really awesome.

Thank you! All the silver balls are beads, bound in place with wire.  I do not know how to solder or torch - maybe next year.

I'm curious, why did you name this piece "Time Traveler"?

Wiresculptress In reply to TheCatnamedFish [2014-01-11 03:14:29 +0000 UTC]

Partly because the piece gives the impression of wings, and partly because I am intrigued by the idea of time travel.  For instance, I would love to go back and meet my aunt, who died in 1919 at 18, or hear my other aunt sing at a Grand Army of the Republic reunion in 1891.

I love the wing look it gives off! Time Travel is a fascinating thing. And because its personal to you, it helps give the piece more life. You are a very talented jewelry designer.

I've always wanted to learn to do wire wrapping, but what you have created here has gone beyond anything I could have imagined possible with the craft.

Stunning work.

Thank you so much I decided to push the limits of wirework for two reasons: 1) I noticed people were denigrating my chosen art form (as in, "If I see one more wire-wrapped pendant, I'm going to scream!), and 2) my skills needed a serious upgrade if I was going to make my head-designs a reality.

I encourage you to pick up some wire and play. Learn the rules, then break them. And don't be afraid to waste wire.
