Lots of people love wire woven jewelry designs. So if you are one of those, these three tutorials will surely pique your interest. There are many I could have chosen but these particular 3 tutorials are good examples which show how you can use a drilled bead, a domed copper disc with pierced holes and a cabochon as the focals. First up is the Clouds and Moon pendant tutorial by Go Art Yourself.
This one is easy enough for beginners to attempt. This instructor has other designs in her beginner wire weaving series. Remember that wire work can be hard on the fingers. You do need to be firm with the wires!
Jennifer Beidermann's tutorial is based on a domed and pierced copper disc. Those holes help her anchor the wires - you have more holes than a drilled bead.
OxanaCrafts' tutorial for a wire woven cabochon pendant is the most demanding of the three as there are no holes to help you anchor the gemstone.

Good ones Pearl!
ReplyDeleteI'm off to give my wires a talking to and a time out. I think they've been misbehaving behind my back...
I've learned a lot from all three instructors - they are very good and the videos clear and helpful!
