And then I'll go away. Lol. Is anyone getting tired of wire?



I took the name bracelet and decided to try making it into a pin. Lol. Since I'm pitiful and was figuring it out as I went, this probably took me a couple of hours, but I was pretty pleased when I finally got it. Then I decided to add a (fake) birthstone to make it more personalized. I'm pretty happy with the results. It's a little hard to photograph. Even without flash and diffusing the light, it still picks up a lot of glare.

I may add one more little connection between the bottom and that last "m" and the "a". It's not sitting quite right.

Beautiful, How do you get the stone to hold? Is that wire or a gem mount with prongs.

Thanks! It's a prong setting with wires going through the prongs.

How can you even think we are tired of wire? We are all plotting how to come to your home and steal you and your jewels away for our own...my precious.

I don't always comment, but I love that you show all these things you do with wire. Not tired of it at all! I like the flash the stone adds.

Thanks Tina! I was posting and got to thinking, "Uh oh, should I have used 'OT' since it's not really beads?"

"Tired of wire". Hmmm... those sound like words, but I can't quite figure out what it means.

:) :) :) While I try to figure it out, maybe you could show us more pictures of your incredible work?

Lol! Ok, maybe I'm just insecure. I just got to thinking that this is a BEAD list!
