Scenes from DVD
This DVD teaches wire wrapping methods without focusing on a specific
design or pattern. The possibilities to design your own
jewelry are very broad depending on bead shapes, colors, &
sizes (and your imagination). For example, this picture shows
a bracelet
made using basic wire wrapping.
22-gauge non-tanish silver artistic wire wraps
together the lampwork beads, Swarovski crystals, and sterling silver
pieces (toggle clasp, headpin with dangling accent , bali beads
&
spacers).
