Hi Therese, I love that you keep a pic of the finished piece in the top corner - very helpful! This pendant is gorgeous, I'm going to make one! Thank you so much!
Thank you! I'm glad the pic is useful. I had the idea when watching another video and found myself getting a bit lost, so I hope it helps make sense of where the piece is heading! Have fun making!
It absolutely does! May I ask how you got your start and what motivates you to make these amazing pieces? Do you work in any other medium, or mainly copper? I love copper myself!
It's a pretty long story! I've been crafting for as long as I can remember, and started making jewellery in my teens. My stint on a TV shopping channel increased my wire working skills and gave me a love for demonstrating/tutoring so when that ended UA-cam was a natural step. Inspiration for my pieces comes from many places, but motivation generally stems from figuring out how to make the piece and wanting to see how it will turn out! I generally work in silver and copper, but I have a particular love of copper. I love its colour (or colours!) and its lower cost offers me the freedom to try out designs without worrying about wasting material. So I definitely use copper the most!
That's wonderful! I love copper also for the same reasons. I'm still new to this, so copper is definitely the way to go! I'm 'crafty' as my artist son tells me since I crochet and love making crafts and DIY things. He is a very talented painter and I keep telling him he ought to make some uTube videos.
I love this Therese I have a habit of going on Jewellery Maker and buying tons of different gemstone rough nuggets. ..I am not sure what the fascination is but I have boxes of everything you can think of. ..it's like every time I have to get any findings or tools theres always a few strands of nuggets...I really love this it reminds me of seahorses.
Every time I try to wrap the smaller gauged wire around the bigger gauged one, the foundation of my piece gets bent out of shape and ends up looking a mess :(
Great idea to leave a picture of finished product in corner. The visual is helpful.
Stunning work!
So beautiful!!!!
Thank you again Teresa for another great tutorial
You're most welcome, Patricia!
Beautiful!!
