Ways with Wire Part 2 of 3
Millie sure has a way with wire. Her wire wrapped rings are truly inspirational. The first ring on the left is a rose quartz bead delicately captured with little beads and fine wire work. The ring on the right is a crystal bead flanked by two filigree balls. There are so many combinations possible using beads and not just with one or three which is commonly used but several too as shown below. Introducing coiling is also another design idea.
Copper is an excellent choice when perfecting your wire wrapping technique before moving on to sterling silver. Inspired? Need some help? Then check out these tutorials :
