Wire-wrapping pendants

Here's Natalie's Necklace, a fun, kind of whimsical piece that I made for my niece.  The red heart glass pendant did not have a drilled hole, so the heart had to be wire-wrapped to became a pendant.  I credit Alice Gustin with great instructions for teaching me this method.  Every time I wire-wrap, I'm surprised with the outcome, because the wire and/or stone often dictates what happens.  I may have a plan in mind in the beginning, but it becomes just a guideline in the end.  I saw a similar piece with the clasp on the side, and that was something I decided to try with this piece.
