Vroom!

I have an idea for a new project! I thought it might be cool to be able to create little wire motorcycles and then connect them together to form a bracelet. First though, I had to know if I could pull off making a tiny wire figure that was detailed enough to be recognized as a  motorcycle. Though my first attempt is a bit rough and not the best form. At least I know that I can pull off the idea. Not bad huh?

Turtle! Turtle!

Yay! I may have been away from my creativity for a while, but the creativity wasn't gone for good!  This cute little turtle came to me as an inspiration when I decided to make an ornament for my turtle loving sister-in-law!

I love how the use of spirals for the shell and larger glass beads for the coloring came together in this most adorable creation!

Expanding my wire creation skills beyond crochet.

Over this past summer, I began to work on crochet wire jewelry and have found something that I truly enjoy doing. I have found that working with wire has become my passion and tends to spark lots of creative ideas for me.

Because of this, I have expanded my skills to create other types of delicate wire works. Here are some of my latest creations in shaping and wire wrapping. I used a stronger 20 gauge wire for the outer shape and 26 gauge wire for the details.


Here is a pendant I created by bending wire.

However, not everyone 

wears jewelry. So I was 

inspired to shape & bend

wire to create colorful
bead sun-catchers/
ornaments, like this
dolphin and waves
creation.

I have also been shaping & wrapping wire to make elegant pins.

Creating wire shapes was first inspired by books like these;

and then later by filling the interests of customers.
