Erika Pal of WireArtTutorials has got to be one of the most innovative and prolific wire jewelry designer and instructor out there. Wire work jewelry requires much practice in order to get good. Erika has clearly put in the time and more!
Her creative mind means her designs are always original and have loads of character. Take for example the amazing flower design shown above, which manages to capture the cabochon in a way I have never seen before.
You will notice she often has different versions of the same theme - like dragonflies or as shown below, floral mandalas. The Flower of Youth design below has such a different way of framing the cabochon. Her style can vary from ornate to simple.
I first came across Erika's work when she had a number of striking animal inspired designs. Methinks, there is nothing this artisan cannot tackle!
