My talented neighbor Joanie was kind enough to show me how she creates exquisite wire wrapped jewelry. Although Joanie is sharing her secrets with us, it does not matter. We are not talented enough to copy her work. Nor do we have her eye. Nor do we have her tools or inspiration. Luckily, we can watch.
Here is a quick introduction with shots in Portrait Orientation - make sure to see the other parts to this project and visit Joanie here to see much more of her spectacular work:
It all happens behind the red door.
Here's Joanie.
But she is usually here in her girl cave taking care of business.
Straightening and wiping copper wire. This piece will have four strands - two twisted.
Fitting the wire into the twister.
And twisting
All four wires taking shape
This part got tricky
And now the gemsotne can fit
This happened by magic
I was there and I did not see how this happened.
