I've been collecting freshwater pearls for ages and have ended up with a lovely mix of shapes, sizes and colors. So today, I decided to do something with them. Having been tempted to try wire work for a while now, I decided to just forge ahead.
I had a bracelet frame and added some wire swirls to it, then threaded pearls on fine wire and suspended them around the frame. I think I'm quite pleased with the result.
Flushed with this little success, I went and tried something else - crocheted wire. Wow, that's hard to do! Nevertheless, I persevered and here's how it came out.
Now that I've made my fingers good and sore, it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the fruits of my labors. Bead on!
they are gorgeous. I love pearls, who couldn't?
Crochet wire? who'd a thunk it?...Pam
