We have to all love the higgledy and piggledy (although a pain in the neck) goes everywhere he does. I'm sure we all have friends like this so you just have to open your arms wide and embrace them both (giggle)
Thanks Ruth, I don't mean to, I do leave in when I make mistake but you cant really go wrong with this if you do no-one notices lol On Sunday the new tutorial is the same style but in the shape of a crescent moon, its a loopy luna

the one on my left hand is my wedding ring and although it looks like a wire wrap its actually an antique soldered ring, the one on my right hand is based on my dragons eye tutorial available through my Etsy site www.etsy.com/ie/listing/166312265
Its a coil-a-ma-jig but I think they also make them under the name coiling gizmo try a search on Amazon or ask at your local hobby shop they are very neat little do dads!
I love everything you've shared in this and other tutorials! Thank you! I can understand that bright copper wire will eventually darken or that you can treat them to be dark. I tend to like bright wire as a personal preference - how do you keep it bright? My grandmother had a beautiful pendant which, through the years, darkened but still was recognizable as copper - like an old penny. If I don't treat the new copper wire, will it patina to an old penny shade or to a darker shade like you have?
It will take a long time to get as dark as when using a liver of sulfur but it will darken, You can use a silver dip that will remove the tarnish to brighten pieces or a silver cloth and give them a rub this will bring back the shine. I use a silver cloth on the patina pieces as it helps keep the bright top note nice and bright. You can also use renaissance wax to clean and protect your copper.
Wow these are gorgeous. I have never made anything with wire although I want to badly. You make this look like something a beginner like me could do. I love your beads but how do you get the color to change? I love the finished look so much. Is there a video that shows how to get the wire a different color? You got a new sub tysm for sharing. I think I can make one of the beads with practice.
When you start always remember " There are no mistakes, only new designs" make it a mantra and no matter how self critical you are (we all are) when a friend or relative complements something you have made, believe what they are saying don't start contradicting them and pointing out perceived faults take the compliment to heart! Have fun with your new adventure
How do you harden them so they maintain their shape? I love these beads and would like to make my own, but I can see how easily a non-hardened bead would crush or bend. Thanks for the tutorial.
@@Wireguild Thank you! That's just what I needed to know. For things I can hammer a bit, it's not an issue, but a hammer would be death on these beads. /:)
I get them from the US www.riogrande.com you can get square copper wire from www.wires.co.uk but they dont do the half round. If you get really stuck and dont want to buy from the US you can always message me (via the facebook page) and I can sell you some I do 30g coils for €7.50

The ring on my right hand is a version of my dragons eye ring and the tutorial is available on Etsy www.etsy.com/ie/listing/166312265/dragons-eye-ring-a-wire-wrap-tutorial
By the way, love the ring you're wearing in this tutorial. A tutorial on how to make it would be wonderful!!!
I love this idea. I love how organic it feels.
Thank you! 😊
These are MAGICAL!!!!! They look like they're from "The Dark Crystal" or Brian Froud's world of faeries!!!! TY for the vid💜🖤💜
Mmmm gelflings lol
Coooool! I was thinking that the larger coil bead could have a bail in the middle and hang a chaos bead from it. Thanks for the tutorial!!!!
Glad I could help!
Ooo, I love these beads, hadn't seen this technique until now. Must try! Thank you for such clear instructions :-)
You are very welcome I'm delighted that you enjoyed it
I can safely say this is the first time I've ever heard "higgledy-piggledy" used in a wire tutorial. :D Cool tutorial.

Absolutely love this!!!
Can you give an approximation of how much wire would be needed to complete one of the beads?
thamk u so much for sharing this creative idea. how is this tool called you use to create the core of the bead?
Its a coil-a-ma-jig but I think they also make them under the name coiling gizmo try a search on Amazon or ask at your local hobby shop they are very neat little do dads!

You can harden wire by putting it in a barreller or tumbler. It does not need to be in very long as the metal quickly work hardens.
