Net 2

Another net style
20 gauge and 26 gauge wire

The frame is transformed from wire sunflower. First, make the sunflower, and then bend the petals like a cup or a plate.

The difference between the net 1 and net 2 is that the former has one tier net while the latter has two tiers net. Two-tier net can form some height, and one-tier net can be pushed down or up.

The backs

Net

No matter good things or bad things come, we can smile.

The frame of this gold-colored net is from previous half-finished work. Beyond very kinked wires, all the other wires can be transformed into a craft only if they sit long enough.

Wire Bowknot

The bowknot needs only short length of wire and is simple and easy.
I made this by using a leftover piece on the desk, not cutting wire from the spool.


Persistence is very important. I drilled two holes of stones. The stones are quite hard to drill. I drilled them last year but failed. Yesterday I was determined to drill through the stones. I thought the holes would be drilled, only if I kept drilling. Finally the stone could not resist against the drilling.

Lamp earing

Earrings mean tiny stuff.
I use the previous-made wire vine to hold the earing. The idea seems not bad.
What to hold the vine?
A stone picked at the beaches is heavy enough.

I like to trying everything around in another way, especially in some never-thought-before way.
Keep trying, keep finding, keep failing...........
No body like failure, but failure is not that bad. When failure costs nothing or only a few, it's just another good experience.

Autumn Bracelet

It's still the Autumn season so here is the wire bracelet.
I do have no more to say. Pictures says.

Bracelet With Natural Crystal T Clasp

 This bracelet is made of crystals and copper wire. Handmade natural crystal T clasp is very cute. The crystal used is bar-stylish and the hole have to be in the middle. If the crystal hole is inclined to one side, it's not suitable.

Another need is the copper wire must be very bendable and will not get kinked easily.

Thin wire weaving pupa

The pupa is small but takes long wire. I don't remember the actual length, which is more than 1 meter.

  

Pirate's treasure bag pendant

What do you think of when it comes to pirates? There must be treasure.

The scheme of pirate's treasure bag:

1. Gold-colored wire is for treasure. Simply put, gold color presents gold.
2. Different colors of stones means the treasure. 

Giving the treasure bag a name about pirates is a attempt.

 

3 color free style pendant

Three colors mean at least 3 pieces of wire and 6 wire ends.

This pendant is from a random playing. Free style is playing the wires with your own vision. It's not mimic any physical item, but it's something from your thoughts at the making time.

When I'm getting older, I see time more precious. I don't want to fill my time with stuff or events. What I care is what I actually work out.

Amethyst Bracelet

The amethyst beads are natural and of high quality.  If taking a close look, you'll find that each amethyst piece of the bracelet is a little bit different in color and size.

18 gauge wire used: 11 pieces * 10 cm = 110 cm

I did not use a clasp, but close the bracelet simply. Clasp or not, the difference is about 2 cm long.

"Irregular and random" is the rule of the bracelet making. The connecting loops are not round, nor are the wrapping parts. When everything is irregular in some way, it becomes a style and looks regular.

A close look

Solid Wiring Stripes Bracelet

A bracelet have to be stronger.

In wire jewelry, I think that a bracelet needs more solid components to form.

The wiring stripes are made strong. Each piece needs about 18 cm. So 8 pieces will totally cost 144 cm to form the bracelet.

If combining more wiring pieces, you will get a necklace. I have been wanting to make something like this for long. Last night, I saw someone on TV wearing a stripe-shaped necklace. Then I draw a draft, and make the idea a reality.

Source of inspiration

What people wear on the screen is also a source of inspiration. Someone in those occasions will always think more than twice on what to wear.

The red bezel

The red bezel is made of

1. one piece 18 gauge wire about 50 cm long
2. Bezel size: 36 mm by 48 mm

If making a bigger bezel, then it may become a fruit basket. 

A theme stone can be added to the bezel. To decorate the frame, use seed beads or bigger beads to wrap around. Changing the positions of the beads can get different styles.

bezel: horizontal

The tetragonal pyramid pendant

I know what pyramid is. I've ever been to Musée du Louvre in Paris.   I know the word "tetragonal" today in order to give a name to my wire pendant. Ha!

Musée du Louvre is a very big place, one can spend a whole day there. There are many traveling groups walking fast toward famous paintings, culptures, and other crafts everyday. There are signs of "No photos", however, flash lights being here and there.

Gold color wires can be expressed good and clear in pictures. This becomes an important factor when I want to purchase wires.

Red and Pink twisted wire ring

The concept of this ring is hiding the ends of wire and as simple as possible.

The red and pink twisted wire ring only has the wires twisted, and that's all. There is no need to make a loop or to coiling or wrapping.

Note: 
The ends of wire are ended in different places so that this ring is holding the shape better. It's just like hooking each other. The ends end by following the shape.

White Tridacna Stone Necklace

The white tridacna stones looks humble. In my opinion, they go well with almost any color metal wires.

A little bizarre.
The pendant was not born with a full and complete idea.
It's hard to say some words about this necklace. First, the upper part of the pendant was pre-made for another trying months ago. Then, I used it to experiment another idea and put it aside again. Finally, I picked a suitable natural bead, attaching it to the pendant. That's how the white tridacna stone necklace went all the way.

3 hearts

This is a project of combining 3 hearts in 1.

The silver color one is the basic frame. The pink and the blue follow the silver. It's also okay to use different color wires as the right and the left side frame separately and then wrap with the other wires.
